This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.   Google  Book  Search  helps  readers

The  High  School  Dictionary  here  presented  is  compiled  from 
Webster's  International  Dictionary  of  the  English  Language.  As  that 
work  replaced  Webster's  Unabridged  Dictionary,  so  this  is  designed  to 
take  the  place  of  the  High  School  Dictionary  originally  prepared  by  Mr. 
William  G.  Webster,  in  1848.  In  1857,  Mr.  Webster  published  a  re- 
vision of  this  work,  containing  a  vocabulary  of  the  more  common  words 
which  constitute  the  body  of  our  language,  with  many  technical  terms  in 
the  sciences  and  arts.  That  book  was  in  turn  revised  and  enlarged  by 
Mr.  William  A.  Wheeler,  in  1868.  The  present  volume  is  an  entirely 
new  work,  and  contains  many  words  and  definitions  not  to  be  found  in 
its  predecessors.  Its  purpdse  is  4|o  ^v^  the  correct  orthography,  pronun- 
ciation, and  definition  of  all  words  which  pupils  in  High  Schools  are 
likely  to  meet  with. 

The  pronunciation  of  every  word  is  clearly  shown  by  respelUng  with 
phonetic  markings  that  are  explained  in  the  key  lines  below  the  pages. 
For  the  first  time  in  a  school  dictionary,  the  pronunciation  of  unaccented 
syllables  is  thus  accurately  indicated. 

The  addition  of  many  new  words,  and  the  free  use  of  illustrations  to 
help  in  understandings  the  subject,  have  not  excessively  increased  the  bulk 
of  the  volume.  Condensation  has  been  accomplished  by  omitting  defini- 
tions of  derived  words  (mostly  adverbs,  adjectives,  and  abstract  nouns) 
which  are  @elf -explaining  as  soon  as  the  root  word  is  understood ;  and, 
further,  such  derivatives  have  usually  been  grouped  in  .the  same  para- 
graph with  the  root  word,  where  this  could  be  done'^without  interrupting 
the  alphabetical  order.  On  the  other  hand,  care  has  been  taken  to  dis- 
criminate between  words  of  the  same  spelling  and  pronunciation,  but  of 
different  etymology  and  meaning.  For  instance,  Sound  is  a  form  repre- 
senting ^bt^r  words  of  the  same  pronunciation  but  of  widely  different  ori- 
gin and  sense.  In  older  dictionaries  such  words  appeared  as  one  word 
with  different  meanings.  This  mode,  tending  to  confuse  or  mislead  the 
pupil,  has  been  carefully  avoided. 

There  is  a  copious  Appendix  which  contains  a  list  of  Biblical,  Classi- 
cal, Mythological,  Historical,  and  Geographical  Proper  Names,  combined 
in  a  single  vocabulary.

GUIDE   TO   PRONUNCIATION. 


KEY    TO    THE    SYMBOLS. 


In  the  RESTBLLING  FOR  PRONUNCIATION  in  the  Dictionary,  there  is  employed— M 
■hown  in  the  Table  —  a  cfymbol  for  every  clear  yowel  or  diphthongal  sound  in  the  language ;  with, 
in  four  instances,  a  pair  of  equiyalents  for  the  same  sound  as  occurring  in  different  situttions,  viz. : 
^  =  do ;  ^  =  db ;  d  =  9 ;  and  j^  (final)  =  I ;  besides  a  and  e,  italicized,  as  these  vowels  are  in  cer- 
tun  cases  obscured  and  turned  toward  the  neutral  form ;  also,  apostrophe  for  the  yoice-glide ;  and 
N  to  indicate  foreign  nasalized  vowels ;  —  some  of  the  sounds  Dccurring  only  in  accented  and  others 
only  in  unaccented  syllables,  and^  some  others,  with  but  slight  difference  of  quality,  in  both.  The 
ft,  6,  and  6  are  used  to  represent  the  similar  sounds  in  foreign  words,  but  not  limited  as  they  are  in 
English  to  unaccented  syllables.  The  ^  is  employed,  as  the  nearest  English  yowel  we  have,  inexact 
as  it  is,  to  replace  u  French  and  u  German ;  and  in  like  manner  the  8  for  the  eu  French  and  ft 
German. 

The  consonant  letters  b,  d,  f,  li,  j,  Ic,  1,  m,  p,  r,  t,  ▼,  i^,  and  y,  and  the  digraphs  sbi  and 
ng,  are  used  with  their  ordinary  normal  value ;  g,  b,  z,  and  cli  are  each  limited  to  a  single  sound  ; 
n  and  tb  are  marked  for  one  sound  of  each  and  used  unmarked  for  the  other.  No  use  is  made  of  c 
q,  X,  or  the  digraphs  pb,  gb,  ds,  and  ivb.  The  principal  substitutions  of  the  consonant  qnnbda 
used  in  the  respelling  are  noted  in  the  Table.

IfOTS.    Foreign  consonant  sounds  are  represented  by  the  nearest  English  equivalents. 

AocBSTB  AND  Htphbns.  The  principal  accent  is  indicated  by  a  heavy  mark  (0,  and  the  second- 
ary accent  by  a  lighter  mark  (0,  at  the  end  of  the  syUable.  Syllabic  division  is  otherwise  indicated 
by  a  light  hyjdien ;  a  lieavier  hyphen  Joins  the  members  of  compound  words. 


The  Table  here  appended,  together  with  the  precedhig  Table,  furnishes  a  method  of  INDICA- 
TING PRONUNCIATION  WITHOUT  RESPELUNG.  It  is,  in  its  main  features,  the  same  as  that 
employed  in  previous  editions  of  the  Dictionary,  and  will  serve  except  in  the  case  of  a  comparatively 
few  words,  which  must  be  respeUed.    Use  is  made  of  it  in  this  Gums  to  Pbonuitciation. 

To  each  of  the  symbols  here  given,  the  equivalent  is  added  that  takes  its  place  in  the  respelling 
(thus :  a  =  »,  etc. ;  wbat  =  wb6t,  etc. ;  «  =  k,  etc.).  The  unmarked  letter  in  a  digraph  is  to 
be  taken  as  if  silent ;  as  in  break,  brdad,  bail,  yield,  veil,  etc.    Silent  e  at  the  end  of  sylla-

vu 


bles,  as  in  fate,  etc.,  or  in  the  -ed  of  preterits  and  participles,  as  in  baked,  burned,  etc.,  need 
not  be  marked. 

The  method  has  diacritical  marks  applied  to  such  consonant  letters  and  digraphs  as  offer  espe- 
cial and  frequent  occasion  for  their  use.  Certain  syllables,  as  tion,  gion,  tial,  cial,  etc.,  which 
would  naturally  be  correctly  pronoimced,  need  not  be  marked  or  respelled.  The  sounds,  as  de- 
scribed, of  X,  ph,  qu,  and  vfIi,  unmarked,  are  what  these  characters  will  usually,  but  not  invaria- 
bly, represent.

THE  VOWELS  OF  THE  ALPHABET  IN  DETAIL. 

A. 

§  1.  A,  a :  as  in  ale,  fate,  mak'er,  pro-fane'.  The  sound  is  otherwise  represented,  as  in 
pain,  day,  gaol,  gauge,  break,  veil,  whey,  also  aye  (ever) ;  and  is  the  name  sound  of  the  letter. 
The  vowel  is  called  *'  long  a." 

A  is  diphthongal,  its  initial  element  being  nearly  Q  in  Snd,  and  its  vanish  I  in  HI  or  e  in  eve. 

The  vanish  is  heard  most  distinctly  when  the  soimd  ends  a  word  or  an  accented  syllable,  and  it 
varies  according  to  the  nature  of  the  consonant  by  which  it  is  stopped. 

The  radical  or  initial  element,  somewhat  widened,  is  the  exceptional  soimd  of  a  in  many,  any, 
Tbames;  and  of  at  in  said,  again,  against.    See  §  13. 

§  2.  A,  ft :  a  modification  of  the  preceding  vowel  in  syllables  without  accent ;  ranging  between  a 
(ale)  and  £  (Snd) ;  and  never  taking  the  vanish.  It  occurs  in  the  endings  -ace,  -age ;  as,  pref- 
ace, sol'ftce,  rav'ftge,  ad'ftge,  etc.  The  ending  -ate,  in  the  case  of  verbs,  takes  a  (ale),  with 
accent,  primary  or  secondary  (though  with  the  secondary  accent  not  marked  in  the  Dictionary) ;  as, 
re-late',  ad'vo-cate  (t'.),  em'u-late,  con'ju-gate  (v.)»  ag'gre-gate  (v.)»  etc. ;  while,  in  the 
case  of  nouns  and  adjectives,  &  without  the  accent  is  commonly  used ;  as,  sen'ftte,  prel'&te,  ad'- 
TO-cftte  (n.),  ag'gre-gftte  (n.),  con'ju-gftte  (a.).  Also,  &  often  occurs  as  preceding  another 
vowel — usually  accented — in  the  following  syllable;  as,  A-e'ri-al,  cbft-ot'lc,  Ju'dft-ism.  In 
wo^s  like  nii8'cel-lft-ny,  sal'u-tft-ry,  sump'tu-ft-ry,  the  a,  before  ny  or  ry  final,  and  with 
the  preceding  syllable  unaccented,  has  properly  this  sound  ;  but  if  the  preceding  syllable  be  accented, 
as  in  bot'a-ny,  di'a-ry,  sal'a-ry,  pri'ma-ry,  boun'da-ry,  the  a  sound  (so'fa),  is  usually 
preferred ;  yet  in  con'tra-ry  and  li'bra-ry  the  ft  is  the  easier  to  give,  and  in  these  and  some 
others  of  the  class  is  common  and  allowable.    In  final  syllables,  the  tendency  of  the  sound  is  to  pass 


•••

through  fi  to  I,  as  ia  TUIftge,  sui/f  ftce,  etc.,  in  which  the  ft  is  foUowed  by  a  J  or  aa  s  sound.  The 
ai  in  moon' tain,  cap'taiu,  etc.,  in  the  same  way  becomes  I  (111). 

§  3.  A,  ft :  only  in  syllables  closed  by  the  sound  of  r  and  more  or  less  strongly  accented ;  as  in 
cftre,  sliftre,  com-pftre',  pftr'ent,  ploiv'aliftre'.  The  sound  is  also  represented  by  6  (tlidre) ; 
and  otherwise  as  in  air,  bear,  heir,  prayer. 

The  a  before  r  does  not  ordim^y  take  this  sound  when  the  r  precedes  a  vowel  or  another  r  in  the 
following  syllable  of  the  word ;  as  in  pfti/i-ty,  p&r'ry,  oom-p&i/l-goii,  diftr'i-ty,  etc.  But 
the  sound  remains  without  change  by  an  added  verb  inflection  or  the  sulflz  -er ;  as  in  com-pftr'- 
ins,  shfti/er ;  and  appears  exceptionally  in  pftr'ent,  pftr'ent-age,  sftr'isli. 

The  sound  is  the  narrow  correlate  of  the  wide  ft  (ftm).  It  is  not  simply  a  prolongation  of  that 
sound ;  though,  if  we  attempt  such  prolongation,  the  orguis  naturally  slide  into  a  positi<m  which 
gives  the  sound  in  question. 

The  difference  between  this  sound  and  that  of  &  may  be  readily  distinguished  by  soundii^  the 
first  syllable  of  cli&rity  and  the  word  cliair. 

Some  orthoepists,  as  Walker,  Smart,  Stormonth,  Ellis,  identify  this  sound  with  a,  or  with  S  pro* 
longed,  but  this  sound  is  not  now  commonly  g^ven  in  the  United  States. 

§  4.  A,  ft :  as  in  ftm,  ftdd,  f  ftt,  rftn'dom,  b&ve,  pftr'l-ty ;  also  in  plaid,  gnar'an-ty,  etc. ; 
the  regular  *'  short  a."  It  is  usually  followed  by  a  closing  consonant  sound,  whether  accented  or 
unaccented. 

As  VNACCKNTED,  it  is  more  commonly  found  in  initial  closed  syllables :  as  in  ftl-lude',  ftt-tack% 
ftn-nuV. 

§  5.  A,  ft :  as  in  ftrm,  f  ftr,  fattier,  ftb,  ftlmg,  pftlm,  etc. ;  having  equivalents  as  in  hearth, 
aunt,  guard,  etc. ;  called  the  "  Italian  a.** 

This  is  the  most  open  of  all  the  vowel  sounds.  In  its  formation  the  mouth  and  throat  are 
opened  widely,  and  the  tongue  is  left  in  its  natural  position  of  rest. 

§  6.  A,  a.  This  is  the  sound  to  be  preferred  in  certain  words  or  syllables  ending  in  gk,  IT,  ft, 
th,  8S,  sp,  at,  nee,  nt,  nd ;  as,  ask,  staff,  graft,  path,  pftss,  srasp,  last,  dance, 
cliant,  com-mand' ;  and  in  some  other  cases ;  besides  its  frequent  use  in  unaccented  syllables, 
— for  one  class  of  which  it  will  in  this  Dictionary  be  indicated  by  a,  the  Italic  form  of  the  letter. 
See  §7. 

In  organic  position,  a  lies  between  ft  in  ftni,  and  ft  in  ftrm.  The  main  part  of  the  tongue  ia 
raised  higher  than  in  ftrm,  and  the  mouth  is  not  so  widely  opened. 

In  UNACCENTBD  SYLLABLES  thls  sound  (ft)  is  of  frequout  occurrence,  though  in  rapid  speech  more 
or  less  obscured  and  often  falling  into  the  neutral  form. 

In  open  syllables  unaccented,  as  in  a-rise^  di'a-dem,  ca-lor'ic,  mu'ta-ble,  bof^a-ny, 
sal'a-ry,  villa,  so'fa,  etc.,  the  sound  may  be  regarded  as  a  brief  and  obscure  form  of  ft. 

§7.  In  final  or  medial  syllables,  unaccented,  and  closed  by  n,  1,  nt,  nee,  nd,  s,  ss,  at,  p  or  pli 
or  ff,  m,  or  d,  as  in  syl'van,  va'can-ey,  mor'tal,  loy'al,  va'eant,  val'iant,  guid'anee, 
liusHband,  bi'as,  eom'pass,  bal'last,  break'f ast,  jal'ap,  ser'apb,  mad'am,  myr'i-ad, 

etc,  the  Italic  a  is  used  in  the  spelling  for  pronunciation.    See  §  6. 

§  8.  4^,%:  as  in  ^11,  t^lk,  sw^rm,  iv^'ter,  ap-p^U' ;  otherwise  represented  in  haul,  dravr, 
awe ;  also  in  drb,  bdm,  bought,  etc. 

This  is  called  the  "broad  sound  "  of  a,  and  is  formed  by  a  depression  of  the  larynx  and  a  con- 
sequent retraction  of  the  tongue  which  enlarges  the  cavity  of  the  mouth  posteriorly. 

In  the  words  salt,  malt,  quarrel,  etc.,  as  commonly  heard,  the  soimd  of  a  falls  between  5  in 
not  and  ^  in  all  (or  is  ^  somewhat  shortened). 

§  9.  A,  9 :  as  in  wfs,  wb^t,  i^^'der,  i^^loi^,  qu^'i-ty,  etc.    The  sound  is  identical 


GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION.  « 

with  th&t  of  5  (Sdd,  n5t),  and  ow  in  knowFedge,  etc.    In  the  reepaUing  for  pronnndation,  it 
will  be  represented  by  ft. 

E. 

§  10.  JB,  e :  as  in  eve,  mete,  con'crete',  etc. ;  the  name  sound,  having  eqtdvalents  as  in  feet, 
beam,  de-ceive',  poc/ple,  key,  Cae'sar,  marchlne',  field,  quay,  Phoe'bus,  Por'ta-gueae',  etc. 
The  vowel  iA  called  "  long  e."  In  the  formation  of  this  element,  the  tongue  is  nused  convexly 
within  the  dome  of  the  palate,  pressing  against  its  sides,  and  leaving  the  smallest  possible  passage 
through  which  a  vowel  sound  is  uttered. 

§  11.  £,  ^  :  in  unaccented  syllables,  as  ^-vent',  d-pit'o-m^,  cr^-ate',  d^-lin'^-ate',  so-oi'- 

&ty ;  shorter  than  accented  e  (eve),  verging  towards,  or  sometimes  even  reaching,  i  (111). 

§  12.  E,  e.  Tliis,  in  genuine  English  words,  occurs  only  with  i  or  y  added,  so  as  to  make  a 
digraph ;  as  in  eiglit,  prey,  vein,  etc.  The  soimd  is  identical  with  a  in  ale,  and  will  be  indi- 
cated by  a  in  the  respeUiug. 

In  naturalized  and  half-naturalized  foreign  words,  as  forte,  finale,  abb^,  ballet,  eon- 
Bomme,  Mobe,  auto-da-f  6,  Jos^,  and  in  the  interjection  eli  and  in  a  few  other  instances,  we 
have  this  sound  of  e  without  the  vanish.  In  such  cases,  m  the  respelling,  it  is  indicated  by  the 
qrmbolft. 

§  13.  £,  £ :  as  in  £nd,  pfit,  t£n,  Sr'ror,  etc. ;  otherwise  as  in  feath'er,  heif'er,  leop'ard, 
friend,  di-ser'e-sis,  as^a-focfi-da,  bur'y,  guess,  a'ny,  said,  etc. ;  called  "short  e."  The  syllable 
is  usually  closed  by  a  consonant  sound. 

This  is  not  the  short  sound  of  e  in  eve,  but  the  initiiJ  or  radical  soimd,  somewhat  widened,  of  the 
diphthongal  a.  It  is  made  by  arching  up  the  tongue  under  the  hard  palate,  as  in  S,  but  its  place  of 
formation  is  farther  back. 

Unaccbhtbo  it  occurs,  as  in  £x-cnse',  Sn-large',  £f-f ace',  £g-tate',  £r-ro'ne-ou8,  lev'Sl, 
In'tdl-lect',  car'pSt ;  and  sometimes  it  verges  to  or  towards  1,  as  in  ro'sds,  hors'ds,  f  air'^st, 
wis'Sst,  riv'St,  end'Sd,  wick'Sd,  wool'Sn,  kitcb'Sn. 

§  14.  ll!,  6  :  as  in  tlidre,  wbdre ;  also  in  heir,  etc. ;  only  before  r ;  -^  identical  in  sound  with 
A  (cftre). 

§  15.  £,  S :  as  in  fSm,  Srr,  bSr,  Si/mine,  vSrge,  in-f 8^^  per-vSrt' ;  otherwise  as  in  sir, 
bird,  earn,  mirth,  m5^tle,  guer'don,  etc.  It  occurs  when  immediately  followed  by  r  in  a  mono- 
syllable or  in  the  same  accented  syllable  ;  but  not  when  the  r  precedes  a  vowel  or  another  r  in  the 
following  syllable,  as  in  vfir'y,  pSr'il,  mfir'ry,  fir'ror,  he'ro,  pe'ri-od,  etc.,  except  that  verbs 
having  this  sound  of  the  letter  almost  iJways  retain  it  when  inflected  or  suffixed ;  as  in  con-f  Sr'- 
ring,  de-tSr'ring,  con-fSr'rer,  re-fSr'ri~ble. 

This  sound  is  formed  by  placing  the  organs  in  a  position  intermediate  between  that  requisite  for 
sounding  ti  (A^rn),  and  that  for  sounding  6,  thus  making  (as  Smart  observes)  a  compromise  between 
the  two.  A  majority  of  English-speaking  people,  however,  make  no  distinction  between  8  in  tier, 
and  tL  in  urn ;  but  as  many  orthoepists  do  make  a  slight  difference,  the  two  markings  have  been 
retained  in  this  Dictionary. 

§  16.  Unaccbnted  S  (before  r),  — asin  ev'Sr,  read'Sr,  lov'Sr,  sev'Sr,  sev'Sr-al,  pSr-form', 
rev'Sr-ent,  in'fSr-ence,  cav'Srn,  etc.,  with  equivalents  in  e-iixir,  zeph'yr,  ac't6r,  li'ar,  etc., 
—  is  nearly  identical  with  the  accented  S  (f  grn). 

§  17.  The  e  before  n  in  unaccented  syllables,  —  as  in  pru'dent,  rai'ment,  con-ven'ient, 
creMence,  de'cen-cy,  etc.,  —  takes  a  sound  of  obscure  quality  in  ordinary  speech.  The  e  before 
n  in  ivooFen,  kitch'en,  etc.,  takes  properly  the  6  (Snd)  sound,  which  in  rapid  speech  tends 
toward  I  (HI).    In  words  like  com'ment,  con' vent, — correct  with  6  (dnd),  —  we  have  the  final 


X  GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION. 

syllable  aetoAUy  under  a  aeoondary  accent.  Before  1,  the  unaccented  e  ia,  in  some  caaee,  like  that 
above  before  n ;  as  in  nov'el,  in'fl-del ;  while  in  shriv'el  and  some  others  it  takes  the  form  ex- 
plained below  (see  §  18) ;  —  but,  iu  many  cases,  it  is  commonly  and  properly  given  as  d  (dud) ;  thus 
in  je^dl,  cru'Sl,  cam'Sl,  goa'pdl,  fun'nSl,  an's^l,  dian'iiSl.  In  some  of  these,  and  in 
other  words  of  the  kind,  there  is  consi4erable  diversity  of  usage  as  between  these  sounds. 

In  the  case  of  words  like  pru'dent,  nov'el  (see  above  in  this  paragraph),  the  vowel  will  be  in« 
dicated  by  a  bare  Italic  e  iu  the  spelling  for  pronunciation. 

§  18.  The  unaccented  vowel  of  obscure  quality  before  n  or  1,  is  sometimes  reduced  to  the  attenu- 
ated form  called  the  voice-glide, — as  in  eat'en,  heav'en,  o'pen,  sJbriT'el,  a'ble,  gen'tle, 
pai/tl-ole,  ba'sln,  coua'ln,  par'don,  sea'son,  etc. 

Syllables  are  also  made  by  m  with  the  voice-glide ;  as  in  scliisiii  (stz'm),  cliagm  (kXz*m),  mi'- 
cro-cosm  (-k52*m),  etc.    Substituting  the  vowel  ii  for  the  voice-glide  is  not  sanctioned. 

Iu  this  Dictionary,  an  afostbophb  (')  is  used  in  the  respelling  for  pronunciation  to  indicate  the 
vowel  elision  or  the  voice-glide ;  as,  par'd'n,  a'b'l,  etc 

§  19.  The  letter  e  sUent.  As  annexed  to  a  consonant  at  the  end  of  a  syllable,  this  letter  has  no 
sound ;  but  serves  commonly,  in  accented  syllables,  to  indicate  the  preceding  vowel  as  long ;  as  in 
came,  tone.  It  also  nuurks  the  preceding  consonant  c  or  g  as  soft ;  as  in  ser'vice,  rav'aKOi 
vice,  o-blige'. 

§  20.  The  letter  e,  loUh  consonant  value.  X4ke  the  short  I,  when  e  unaccented  is  closely  followed 
by  another  vowel,  it  naturally  falls  into  more  or  less  of  a  consonant  y  soimd,  and  the  e  thus  makes 
with  the  following  vowel  an  imperfect,  or  consonantal,  diphthong.  After  t,  or  d,  or  ^ ,  or  g,  this 
•y  sound  often  coalesces  with  the  consonant  and  changes  its  soimd ;  as  in  riglit'eoag  (ri'chfis) ; 
S^ran'deur  (grSn'dtir  or  gran'jur),  ml-ca'ceoug  (-shfis),  o'cean  (o'shan),  and  naa'geous  (n^'- 
shfis).  Even  after  the  sound  of  the  e  has  changed  the  preceding  consonant,  it  may  still  appear,  espe- 
cially when  the  accent  falls  upon  the  following  vowel ;  as  in  o'ce-an'ic  (o'shft-Sntk),  iiau'ge-ate 
(n{('jht-at). 


§  21.  f ,  i :  as  in  ice,  time,  gii^lit,  cblld,  bind,  gi'ant :  the  name  sound  of  the  letter.  It 
is  called  **long  i."  Equivalents  are  vie,  guile,  height,  aisle,  thy,  buy,  choir,  rye,  eye,  ay  or 
aye  (yes)  as  sometimes  heard. 

The  sound  is  diphthongal.  The  main  part  is  the  glide  between  its  initiiU  (ft  in  ftrm)  and  its  ter- 
minal (I  in  HI). 

§  22.  t,  i :  unaccented :  as  in  t-de'a,  bi-ol'o-sy,  trt-ba'nal,  bt-cai/bo-nate,  dt-am'e-ter. 

The  quality  of  the  sound  is  subject  to  variation ;  the  diphthong  (I  in  Ice)  being  more  curtailed  as 
the  syllable  takes  less  stress  and  shorter  quantity. 

§  23.  Ji,  *i :  as  in  pi'que,  ma-cliine',  in-trigue',  etc.  The  sound  is  the  same  as  that  of  e 
(eve),  by  which  it  is  represented  in  the  respelling  for  pronunciation. 

§  24.  I,  I :  as  in  HI,  pit,  pit'y,  Ig'sue,  ad-mlt',  un-tll',  etc.  Equivalents  are  hymn,  guin'ea, 
sieve,  breech'es,  been,  English,  bus'y,  wom'en.  This  is  not  the  short  sound  of  i  in  Ice,  but  the 
short  correlative  of  e  in  eve.    It  is  called  "  short  i." 

Unaccented  stllabiiEs  with  this  vowel  are,  in  the  greater  number  of  cases,  closed  by  a  conso- 
nant, as  in  cabin,  O-lume',  in-bab'it.  But  there  are  many  words  in  which  I  ends  an  unac- 
cented syllable  or  forms  a  syllable  by  itself,  as  di-vide',  vis^-ble,  vig^i-bifi-ty. 

§  25.  I,  I,  before  r:  as  in  fir,  bird,  vir'tue,  vlr'sln,  Irk'gome,  etc. :  the  precise  equiva- 
lent of  S  (f  Srn).  In  some  words  the  sound,  before  1  or  n,  is  reduced  to  the  voice-glide ;  as  in 
e^rll  (e'v'l),  ba'gin  (ba^s*n),  etc    See  §  18. 


GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION.  n 

§  26,  The  letter  I,  ieUh  consonant  value.  A  short  i,  doaely  foUowed  by  another  vowel,  often 
falls  into  a  y  sound,  and  thus  produces  an  impure  diphthong,  and  makes  one  syllable  out  of  two ;  as 
In  f  U'ial,  min'ioii,  gen'tus,  etc.  A  preceding  s  surd,  o  soft,  or  sc,  by  fusion  with  the  y,  takes 
an  8h  sound  ;  as  in  man'sion,  con'scious,  vi'cioua ;  and  an  a  sonant  or  a  sb  takes  a  zli  sound ; 
aa  in  vi'sion,  gla'zier,  —  the  i  sound  being  wholly  lost.  A  preceding  t  does  the  same,  as  in 
na'don,  palatial,  etc. ;  with  the  exception  that  when  preceded  by  a  syllable  ending  in  g  or  x,  the 
tl  takes  a  cli  (tgli)  sound  ;  as  in  qaes'Uon,  mix'Uon,  Cliris'tiaii,  etc.  After  g,  the  i  falls 
out,  leaving  the  g  soft ;  as  in  re'sion.  When  d  precedes  the  i,  the  di  in  some  words  becomes, 
or  tends  to  become,  a  J  (dzh) ;  as  cor'dlal,  lu'dian,  etc.,  are  sometimes, and  sordier  isalways, 
pronounced. 

O. 

§  27.  5,  o :  as  in  old,  nSto,  bone,  5'ver,  pro-poB©',  lo'co-mo'tive,  etc. ;  with  eqniva- 
lents  as  in  roam,  foe,  shoul'der,  grow,  owe,  sew,  yeo'man,  beau,  haut'boy,  door.  It  is  the 
"  regular  long  *'  sound,  and  the  name  sound  of  the  letter. 

This  vowel  takes  a  distinctly  perceptible  vanish  in  di>  (f dbt),  or  sometimes  m  do  (food),  and  is 
thus  diphthongal.  In  the  formation  of  the  radical  part,  the  lips  are  contracted  to  a  circular  open- 
ing ;  and  the  jaw  is  less  depressed  than  for  9,  and  more  than  for  do  (food).  As  in  the  similar 
case  of  a  (ale)  the  vanish  is  not  universal,  yielding  more  or  less  to  counteracting  influences. 

Before  r  in  accented  syUables,  the  long  o  naturaUy  and  more  properly  takes  a  vanish  in  ft  (lim) 
instead  of  db ;  as  in  glo'ry,  ore,  door,  four. 

§  28.  6,  t.  In  unaccented  and  usually  open  syllables,  fai  English ;  as  ha  ft-bejr',  t6-bac'c6, 
bUaftw.biltftws,  S6-crat'ic,  p6-et'ic,  euaft-gy,  a-nat'6-my,  trans'l-tft-ry.  This  sound 
differs  from  the  o  (old),  not  only  by  absence  of  the  vanish,  but  by  taking  a  somewhat  wider  form. 

§  29.    6,  6 :  only  before  r ;  as  fai  drb,  Idrd,  dr'der,  ab-bdr',  ex-lidrt',  etc. ;  with  equiva- 
lents, as  in  extraordinary,  georgic,  etc. 
The  most  generally  approved  pronunciation  here  represented  by  this  symbol  is  identical  with  that 

of  « (all). 

The  6  IS  limited  to  accented  syllables  with  the  r  not  followed  by  a  vowel  or  another  r  in  the  fol- 
lowing syllable  of  the  same  word  (the  case  of  inflected  verbs,  as  ab-bdr'rlng,  and  the  cognate 
nouns  in  -er,  as  ab-bdr'rer,  excepted)  ;  while  otherwise  the  vowel  is  5,  as  in  f  Sr'eisn,  tSr'rld, 
or  9,  as  in  more,  o'ral. 

There  are  some  words  in  which  o  before  consonants  Other  than  r  takes  usually  and  properly  a 
medial  sound  between  9  (9II)  and  ft ;  as  sons,  long,  soft,  cross,  gone,  off,  trousli,  oft, 
often,  cost,  brotb,  dotb,  etc.  In  the  respelling  for  pronunciation  in  the  Dictionary,  this 
medial  sound  is  indicated  by  tt  (5dd). 

In  uNAOCKiiTBO  8TLLABLES,  we  sometimes  have  the  d  (drb) ;  as  in  mdr-tal'i-ty,  f  dr-get',  dr- 
dain',  etc.,  and  in  f  dr,  ndr,  dr,  unaccented  as  well  as  accented. 

§  30.  O,  ft :  as  in  n5t,  5dd,  etc. ;  called  "  short  o ; "  having  9  (in  iv^s,  etc.)  as  an  equivalent, 
and  also  our  in  knoivl'edge  and  ou  in  bough,  lough.    It  is  the  short  correlate  of  9  (%11)> 

Unaooentbd  syllabubs  with  5  are  naturally  closed  by  a  consonant ;  as  in  c5n-clude',  Sc-cur', 
ftp-press',  dis^cttn-tent',  rec^ftl-lect',  re'cttm-mit' ;  falling  into  the  neutral  sound  in  very 
rapid  speech.  They  are  rarely  flnal  syllables,  the  6  (s6n)  sound  being  commonly  given  in  final 
syllables. 

§  31.  O,  Q :  as  in  dQ,  pr^ve,  t^mb,  etc. ;  the  same  as  <>b,  and  represented  by  do  in  the 
respelling  for  pronunciation. 

§  32.  Q,  9 :  as  in  ^r9lf ,  'W9'nian,  b9'som,  etc. ;  with  sound  of  dbt  and  represented  by  db 
In  the  respelling  for  pronunoiaticm.

§  33.  6,  6 :  as  in  gAn,  d6ne,  6th'er,  etc. ;  doubled  in  flood,  blood,  etc  ;  ~the  same  m  ft 
(tip),  or  before  r  as  A  (lirii),  and  in  the  respelling  for  pronunciation  represented  by  these  sym^ 
bols  in  accented  syllables. 

In  uvAOCKNTBD  BTLLABLBS  the  6  occurs  frequently ;  as  in  ac^tftr,  at'6in,  ivel'c6ine,  f el'6ii, 
bl8li'6p,  bis'At,  etc.,  with  sound  either  as  H  (ilp)  or  as  8  (ev'Sr).  In  the  respelling  for  pronun- 
ciation, it  will  appear  before  r  as  S,  and  in  most  other  cases  as  ti ;  but  sometimes  before  n  it  repre* 
aents  merely  a  voice-glide ;  as  beck'on  (bSk''n),  rea'son  (re'z'n). 

Oo. 

§  34.  The  doable  letter  oo  has  two  sounds,  marked  do  and  dh  ;  besides  the  oo  in  door,  and  in 
flood,  etc.    In  uttering  these  sounds  the  labial  opening  is  still  more  contracted  than  for  o. 

§  36.  (5b<,  ob  :  as  in  moon,  food,  f dbl,  boot,  etc. ;  with  equiralents  in  dQ,  canoe,  groupt 
rude,  rue,  recruit,  rheum,  dre^v,  manoeuvre. 

§  36.  <)o,  cR)  :  as  in  f  dbt,  ivcjbl,  gdbd,  crdbk'ed,  etc.  Equivalents  are  9  (117911)  and  ^ 
(f  ^^).    It  is  the  wide  or  short  correspondent  of  the  long  do. 

Oi  and  Oy. 

§  37.  The  diphthong  oi  and  07  is  made  by  the  rapid  change  or  glide  of  the  organs  in  passing  from 
9  to  I,  as  in  oU,  boy,  etc. 

Ou  and  Ovir. 

§  38.  The  dipthong  ou  and  aw  is  formed  by  a  rapid  passage  of  the  organs  from  U.  to  db,  as  in 
outrun,  ofvl,  outlive,  etc.  Making  the  first  element  ft  is  a  local  peculiarity,  and  is  very  ob- 
jectionable. 

As  digraphs,  these  combinations  of  letters  take  several  other  sounds  ;  as  in  soup,  rente, 
Zouave  (zw&v  or  zoo-Sv'),  soul,  cou'ple,  grleVous,  knoiv,  bllloi^,  IcnovFl'edge, 
duun'ois,  av'oir-da-poiB',  choir,  tor'toise,  etc. 


§39.    fT,  11 :  as  in  tise,  a-bUse',  fH'sion,  pSre,  mflte,  cflbe,  tflne,  dtl'ty,  lute,  JU'ry, 

etc. ;  called  "  long  u ; "  having  equivalents  as  in  beauty,  feodal,  feud,  peiv,  eive,  lieu,  vieifr, 
cue,  suit,  yule,  yenr,  you. 

The  general  type  of  the  sound  is  that  of  a  diphthong,  which  has  do  (f  dbd)  for  the  terminal  and 
main  part,  and  for  the  initial  a  very  brief  and  evanescent  element,  nearly  related  to  I  (ill)  or  to  e 
(eve) ;  but  in  the  greater  number  of  cases  there  comes  in,  as  a  glide,  a  more  or  less  full  sound  of 
consonant  y,  which  displaces  the  initial  vowel  element.  When  preceded  by  certain  consonants,  the 
y  glide  has  a  tendency  to  be  fused  with  the  consonant,  thus  taking  the  shape  of  a  sibilant,  sb  or  zb, 
glide  (see  below).  This  tendency,  in  accented  syllables,  —  to  which  the  fl  is  limited,  —  should  be 
severely  restricted.  Also,  in  no  case  whatever  should  the  y  sound  be  forced  in  when  it  will  not  come 
in  smoothly  as  a  glide. 

At  the  beginning  of  a  syllable,  as  in  Qse,  fl'nit,  etc.,  the  initial  vowel  element  becomes  y,  —  the 
ft  here  sounding  the  same  as  you  in  the  words  you,  youtb,  etc.  Next  to  this,  the  y  sound  comes 
in  the  most  clearly  after  p,  b,  m,  v,  f ,  c,  and  s  hard ;  as  in  pfire,  bU'rean,  beau'ty,  mUte, 
▼levir,  ffi'tile,  cflbe,  gfile.  After  n,  it  is  less  prominent ;  as  in  neiv.  After  s,  tb,  1,  and  J, 
the  y  sound  comes  in  with  difficulty,  and  need  not  be  attempted  ;  as  in  sfilit,  as-siime',  theiv, 
en-thii'si-asni,  lUte,  ju'ry.  After  t  or  d,  the  H  may  better  be  given  without  the  y ;  as  in 
tune,  tfi'tor,  due,  diike,  dfl'ty.  In  all  these  cases  of  y  omitted,  the  initial  vowel  element  (a 
brief  form  of  i)  is  retained :  it  would  be  quite  wrong  to  give  an  ordinary  do  for  the  entire  sound 
in  such  words.  The  y,  if  attempted  after  t  or  d*  is  apt  to  degenerate  into  a  sibilant,  and  pro> 
duce,  with  the  consonant,  a  decided  tab  or  dzb  sound,  thus  making  tune,  cboon,  and  due  the 
•ame  as  Je^r.    The  j  sound  after  d  or  n  is  oommon  in  England,  as  in  due*  ne^r,  etc,  bat  not  in

America.    As  exceptional,  the  g  in  sure,  sug'ar,  and  their  derivatiTes,  ia  entirely  displaced  by  the 
sli  developed  from  the  y  somid,  and  the  vowel  is  reduced  to  a  simple  ob  (f <>bd)  or  db  (f  dbt)  sound. 

§  40.  U,  fl :  representing  a  modification  of  the  sound  of  u  (use),  in  unaccented  syllables ;  as  in 
di-nlte',  grad'ti-ate,  ac'ttl-ate,  em'ti-late,  ttl-uiul'ttl-ous,  jtl-di'cial,  ad'jtl-tanti 
con'jti-sate,  gtl-preme',  in'stl-lar,  Kl-cid'i-ty,  in-dig'sol-ti-ble,  Tal'ti-a-ble,  vir'ttlei 
na'ttlre,  irer'dtire,  cen'stlre,  sen'stl-al,  ig'stl-ing,  meas'tlre,  etc.  The  sound  dijffersfrom 
that  of  u  by  taking  for  the  final  element  the  wide  c^  (f  c»bt)  ;  and,  after  t,  by  a  partiiU  or  entire 
change  of  the  j  into  a  more  or  less  clear  gb,  and  usually  after  d  into  a  zb  glide ;  as  in  na'ttlre, 
Ter'dtlre,  etc.  A  preceding  s,  in  a  syllable  not  initial  (as  in  cen'stlre,  geii'gfl-al,  etc.),  takes 
more  commonly  an  sb  sound,  and  a  z  or  an  s  sonant  (as  in  az'flre,  &ei'zt!lre,  lei'stlre,  cas'tl-al, 
etc.)  takes  a  zb  sound,  and  the  vowel  becomes  nearly,  if  not  quite,  the  same  in  sound  as  i^  (Joy'- 
f  1^1).  But  the  preceding  g  remains  unchanged  in  initial,  and  sometimes  also  in  medial  syllables ;  as 
in  gti-preme',  con'sfl-lar,  in'gti-lar,  etc.  After  j  or  1  in  the  same  syllable,  the  vowel  has 
nearly  or  exactly  the  sound  of  if.  (joy'f  ^1) ;  as  in  jti-di'cial,  ad'jtl-tant,  Itl-cid'i-ty,  Indis'- 
go-ltl-ble.  Before  r,  the  sound  often  inclines  towards  8  (ev'Sr) ;  as  in  na'tflre,  cen'gtlre, 
meag'tire,  etc. 

§  41.  U,  ^ :  only  after  r ;  as  in  rude,  ru'mor,  rn'ral.  The  sound  does  not  differ  essen- 
tially  from  that  of  do  (food).  The  sound  occurs  after  s,  as  exceptional,  in  sure  and  its  deriva- 
tives,  the  g  being  heard  as  gb. 

§42.  \r,  11 :  as  in  bull,  full,  put,  PV<sl>)  Pyll?  ®tic. ;  with  sound  the  same  as  db  (fdbt), 
heard  also  in  sug'ar  after  s  as  gb. 

Unaccented  the  u  occurs  in  the  syllable  f  ul ;  as  in  Joy'f  \il,  Joy'ful-negg,  f  ^1-filF,  etc. ;  also, 
after  r,  in  f  ru-gaFi-ty  and  a  few  other  words. 

§  43.  ty,  il :  as  in  Arn,  Arge,  bilrn,  bArl,  etc. ;  with  equivalents  as  in  worm,  journal,  etc., 
before  r  only.  The  sound,  as  more  commonly  heard,  is  the  narrow  form  of  the  vowel,  correspond- 
ii^;  to  the  wide  H  {Up). 

§  44.  U,  il :  as  in  tip,  bild,  tiib,  iig,  iigb'er,  iUi'der,  etc. ;  the  "  short  u ;  **  with  equiva- 
lents as  in  sun,  does,  blood,  touch,  etc. 

In  UNACCENTED  SYLLABLES  the  vowel  occurs  in  cir'ciig,  gtlb-mit',  etc..  and  falls  readily  into  the 
*' neutral  vowel."  The  ou  in  pi'ong,  etc.,  ol  in  por'pol^e,  eo  in  dnn'geon,  etc.,  usually  the 
avr  in  bel'loivg,  etc.,  and  the  final  element  of  the  eou  in  rigbt'eoug,  etc.,  and  of  lou  in  gra'- 
cloug,  etc.,  and  the  o  in  at'om,  irk'some,  ua'tlon,  etc.,  have  the  same  sound. 

§  45.  U,  toiih  consonant  value,  having  the  sound  of  iv,  before  another  vowel  in  the  same  syllable : 
after  q  or  g ;  as  in  qual'i-ty,  quite,  queg'tlon,  gua'no,  lan'gruage,  etc. ;  also  after  g,  as  in 
perguade',  gulte,  etc. 

§46.  The  neutral  Toivel,  sometimes  called  the  "natural  vowel,"  is  the  vocal  sound  made 
with  the  least  articulative  eifort,  or  with  no  effort  to  shape  the  sound,  and  heard,  except  as  a  glide, 
only  in  unaccented  syllables.  It  may  be  described  as  an  obscure  sound  approaching  that  of  ii  (up) 
or  tL  (urn). 

Y. 

§  47.  This  letter,  as  a  vowel,  has  four  sounds :  y  =  I ;  as  in  de-fy',  style,  fly ;  — y,  the  equiva- 
lent of  t  (tdea) ;  as  in  by-e'na,  my-ol'o-gy  ;  —  y  =:  i ;  as  in  nympb,  l^lc,  and  (unaccented) 
pit'y,  bap'py ;  —  y  =  SorI;  asin  myrrb,  myr'tle  and  (unaccented)  zepb'yr.

THE    CONSONANTS    OF    THE    ALPHABET    (WITH    THE    CON- 
SONANT DIGRAPHS)    IN  DETAIL. 

B. 

%  48.  This  is  a  labial  sonant,  correlatiye  of  p,  as  in  boy,  cab,  ebb,  beauty,  bring,  bloiv, 
a^ble,  herb,  bulb,  robbed  (rSbd),  etc.  It  is  usually  silent  after  m  in  the  same  syllable ;  as  in 
bouib,  clin&b,  tomb ;  also  before  t ;  as  in  debt,  doubt,  Bub'tle ;  also  in  bdel^um. 

C. 

§  49.  The  "  soft  c  "  has  a  sibilant  sound  of  three  varieties :  —  One  like  g  sharp,  marked  ^,  (,  and 
represented  by  s  in  the  respelling  for  pronunciation.  C  has  this  sound  before  e,  fl,  or  y;  as  in 
cede,  civil,  cypress,  acid,  glance,  force,  vice,  etc.  —  In  a  few  words  the  letter  has  the  z 
sound ;  as  in  sacrlflce,  suffice,  discern.  —  When  ce  or  cl  is  followed  by  another  vowel  in  the 
same  syllable,  the  sli  sound  is  taken,  either  by  the  c  alone,  as  in  oceanic,  vlcloslty,  or  by  the 
ee  or  ci  together,  as  in  ocean,  vicious,  etc. 

§  50.  The  "  hard  c,"  marked  C,  e,  has  the  sound  of  k,  and  is  represented  by  k  in  the  respelling. 
The  letter  has  this  sound  before  a,  o,  or  u,  or  a  consonant,  and  at  the  end  of  a  syllable  if  not  fol- 
lowed by  1  or  e ;  as  in  call,  cold,  plc'ture,  act,  ethics ;  and  before  e  in  sceptic,  and  i  in 
scirrous,  etc. 

§  51.    C  is  silent  in  czar,  victuals,  indict,  and  in  uiuscle,  corpuscle,  etc. 

CH. 

§  52.  The  digraph  ch  (unmarked)  has  nearly  the  sound  of  tsh ;  as  in  chin,  church.  It  is  the 
surd  correlative  of  j. 

The  sound  is  also  represented  by  tl  in  bastion,  question.  Christian,  etc.,  by  te  in 
righteous,  and  by  t  with  the  initial  part  of  u  in  texture,  nature,  etc. 

§  53.  The  digraph  marked  K^^  ^h,  has  the  sound  of  sh,  in  words  from  the  French  which  have 
retained  this  sound ;  as  in  chaise,  chivalry,  chagrin,  machine,  mustache. 

\  54.    Ch  hard,  marked  Ch,  eh ;  with  sound  like  k,  which  is  used  to  represent  it  in  the  respell- 


GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION. 

fng.  It  haa  this  somid  in  words  derived  from  the  Greek,  and  tlirough  the  Latin  in  all  but  quite 
modem  words;  as  in  chorus,  epoch,  echo,  chlorine,  chrism,  character;  or  from  the 
Hebrew ;  as  in  Nebuchadnezzar,  £noch,  etc. ;  exceptions  are  church,  chart,  Rachel, 
cherub,  and  the  prefix  arch-  in  archbishop,  archdeacon,  archduke,  etc. ;  but  the  fc 
sound  remains  in  archangel,  and  in  architect,  architrave,  etc. 

§  66.    Ch  is  silent  in  drachm,  schism,  yacht ;  also  in  fuchsia. 

I>. 

§  66.  This  is  a  dental  sonant,  correlative  of  the  surd  t ;  as  in  day,  dry,  bed,  aimed,  Idleb 
It  sounds  as  t  when  preceded  by  a  surd  in  the  same  syllable ;  as  in  hissed,  loolced,  arched 
(hTst,  ld6kt,  i&rcht).  It  is  silent  in  the  first  syllable  of  Wednesday  and  in  hancdierchief , 
handsome,  and  iirindroiv. 

§  67.  This  is  a  labiodental,  the  surd  correlative  of  the  sonant  v ;  as  in  fame,  fly,  f ei/r,  stalls 
oft,  etc.  It  has  gh  and  ph  for  equivalents ;  as  in  lauffh,  photograph,  etc  It  takes  the 
sound  of  V  in  the  word  of,  and  usually  in  the  compounds,  hereof,  thereof,  ivhereof . 

G. 

§  58.  The  "  hard  g  '*  is  marked  G,  £ ;  but  in  the  respelling  for  pronunciation  is  represented  by  g 
unmarked.  It  is  a  guttural  sonant,  the  correlative  of  k,  used  before  a,  o,  u,  or  1,  r,  s,  in  the  same 
syllable;  as  in  gay,  go,  gun,  glad,  groiiv,  lingual,  argue,  bags,  haggle ;  — sometimes, 
though  not  usually,  before  e,  1,  or  y ;  as  in  get,  give,  gig,  muggy.  The  letter  g  is  always 
hard  at  the  end  of  a  word ;  as  in  hug,  berg ;  also  in  the  derivatives  of  such  words,  even  when  the 
doubled  g  is  followed  by  e,  i,  or  y ;  as  in  cragged,  druggist,  foggy. 

The  interposition  of  a  slight  sound  of  e  (eve)  or  i  (ill)  between  g  hard  and  a  following  &  or  I 
sound,  in  garden,  guard,  guide,  guile,  etc.,  and  in  like  manner  after  a  k  or  hard  c,  in  card, 
kind,  etc.,  — upheld  by  the  authority  of  Walker,  —  is  not  approved. 

$  69.  The  "  soft  g,"  marked  6,  ^,  has  the  sound  of  J,  and  is  represented  by  J  in  the  respelling 
for  pronunciation ;  as  in  gem,  engine,  rage,  caged,  etc.    It  is  found  usually  before  e,  i,  or  y. 

§  60.  In  a  few  words  from  the  French,  the  letter  g  retains  the  sound  like  that  of  z  in  azure ; 
as  in  rouge,  mirage,  cortege,  etc. 

§  61.  The  letter  g  is  silent  before  ni  or  n  final,  and  when  initial  before  n ;  as  in  phlegm, 
sign,  gnat,  gnostic,  etc.  No  g  sound  is  heard  in  the  digraph  ng ;  as  in  sing,  long,  etc ;  nor 
in  seraglio,  nor  in  bagnio. 

GH. 

§  62.  At  the  beginning  of  a  word,  this  digraph  is  sounded  like  hard  g ;  as  in  ghastly,  ghost, 
etc.  It  is  silent  after  i ;  as  in  high,  sigh,  iireigh,  straight,  eight,  right,  etc. ;  also  before 
t  in  the  same  or  a  following  syllable ;  as  in  bought,  brought,  thought,  wrought,  caught, 
taught,  fraught,  daughter,  drought,  etc. ;  but  has  the  sound  of  f  in  t|»e  word  draught: 
the  sound  of  f  also  commonly  after  au  or  ou  at  the  end  of  a  syllable ;  as  in  laugh,  cough,  rough, 
enough;  that  of  k  in  hough,  lough,  shough  ;  and  is  often  silent  after  au  or  ou  in  the  same 
syllable ;  as  in  overslaugh,  dough,  doughy,  though,  bough,  through. 

H. 

§  63.  This  is  a  pure  breath  sound,  representing  no  fixed  configuration  of  the  vocal  organs,  and  is 
often  caUsd  the  tupirata,  it  oconrs  at  the  beginning  of  wosds  or  qyUsUas,  as  hi  hate,  here,  hire^ 


Tn  GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION. 

house,  home,  hard,  hit,  hoop,  hoot,  etc  The  sound  may  be  produced  before  any  of  the 
vowel  sounds  and  before  Mm  aemivowel  sounds  y  and  iv.  It  is  represented  by  -virh  in  "vrho, 
i^hose,  iirhom.  H  is  silent  in  heir,  herb  (usually),  honest,  honor,  hour,  and  their  de- 
rivatiTes. 

J. 

$  64.  This,  with  the  equivalents  g  soft  and  ds,  is  compounded  of  d  and  zh.  We  have  it  in  Jar, 
Jani,  Jest,  Jut,  Jury,  Join,  etc.  It  is  the  sonant  correlative  of  the  surd  ch.  In  some  proper 
names  of  foreign  origin,  and  in  other  foreign  words,  J  or  dj  occurs  at  the  end  of  a  syllable ;  as  in 
AJ'arlon,  hadj,  hadj'l,  Mij'a-mln,  BaJ,  RaJ^poor'. 

The  sound  is  represented  by  ge  in  gurgeon,  outrageous,  etc. ;  by  gi  in  region,  religious, 
etc. ;  by  di  in  soldier,  etc. ;  by  de  in  grandeur,  etc. ;  and  by  d  with  a  part  of  u  in  verdure. 

K. 

$  65.  This  is  a  guttural  s&rd  mute,  the  correlative  of  sonant  g  (hard) ;  as  in  kite,  kill,  skill,  ask, 
ark,  elk,  ilk,  mink,  oak,  etc.  It  has  hard  c,  hard  ch,  gh,  cu,  qu,  que,  cque,  and  q  for 
equivalents;  as  in  call,  chorus,  hough,  biscuit  (-kit),  coquet,  antique,  sacque,  queen. 

The  sound  is  the  first  componelit  of  the  ordinary  x ;  as  in  box,  etc.  Before  n,  in  the  same  syllable, 
k  is  silent ;  as  in  knot,  knee,  etc. ;  ck  has  the  sound  of  k  alone ;  as  in  back ;  as  does  Ik  after 
9  (9II)  or  o  (old) ;  as  in  -viralk,  folk,  etc. 


§  66.  This  is  a  palatal  sonant  made  by  contact  of  the  point  of  the  tongue  with  the  palate,  as  for 
t,  d,  n ;  but  with  the  sides  of  the  tongue  in  this  case  left  free  for  the  passage  of  the  breath.  It  is 
one  of  the  liquids.  We  have  it  in  lie,  all,  sole.  The  1  in  an  unaccented  following  an  accented 
syllable  fulfills  the  office  of  a  vowel ;  as  in  battle,  bustle,  bridle,  couple,  pickle,  etc.,  and 
in  some  other  cases,  as  in  evil,  easel,  etc.  The  1  is  silent  in  would,  could,  should,  alms, 
balm,  nialmsey,  calm,  palm,  palmer,  psRlm,  salmon,  almond,  half,  behalf,  calf, 
halve,  salve,  calves,  balk,  chalk,  calk,  talk,  stalk,  -walk,  folk,  yolk  (often),  with  like 
words  and  their  derivatives. 

M. 

§  67.  M  has  but  one  sound,  produced  by  closing  the  lips,  as  for  b  and  p,  and  letting  the  vocalized 
breath  into  the  nasal  passage ;  as  in  me,  tanie,  times.  At  the  beginning  of  a  word,  m  before  n 
is  silent ;  as  in  mnemonics. 

N. 

§  68.  N,  as  in  none,  inn,  one,  ten,  fern,  snoiv,  tent,  annul,  change,  ingress,  con- 
gressive,  etc.,  is  the  dentonasal  consonant;  the  oral  passage  being  closed  by  contact  of  the  point 
and  the  sides  of  the  tongue  with  the  palate,  just  as  it  is  for  t  and  d,  —  n  being  continuous  and 
nasal,  while  t  and  d  are  momentary  and  oral. 

§  69.  When  n  is  final  after  m  it  is  silent ;  as  in  hymn,  condemn,  solemn,  etc. ;  but  when 
to  such  words  is  added  a  suffix  or  an  inflection  beginning  with  a  vowel,  the  n  is  generally  sounded ; 
as  in  condemnation,  condenuiatory,  solemnize,  solemnity,  hymnolog^,  hymnist, 
limner,  autumnal,  etc.  X  is  silent  in  kiln,  limekiln,  etc.  In  the  participles  damned, 
damning,  condemning,  contemning,  hymning,  limning,  etc.,  and  also  in  the  cognate 
nouns  condemnor  and  contemner,  usage  is  divided.  Initial  kn,  pn,  mn,  are  sounded  as  n ; 
as  in  knoiv,  pneuuiatlcs,  mnemonics,  etc. 

§  70.  N  at  the  close  of  an  accented  syllable,  with  g,  c,  or  ch,  hard,  or  k  or  qu,  comment 
tdng  a  following  syllable,  commonly  takes  the  ng  sound,  and  is  marked  n ;  as  in  ag'ger,  u||'< 
elAf  din'gle,  ao'ehort  coQ'greM,  con^gre-ga^tion,  can'ker,  eon'quett,  coQ'qnei)

etc. ;  but  not  generally  if  the  accent  falls  on  the  latter  syllable ;  as  in  con-grres'give,  con-cor^- 
dant,  etc. ;  nor  in  the  prefixes  in*,  en«,  on-,  on-,  non-  ;  as,  In'couie,  un'con-cern',  non'^. 
com-uiit'tal ;  nor  in  quin'cunx,  and  the  derivatives  and  compoonds  of  quin'qoe ;  nor  in 
pen'suin  and  a  few  other  words.  In  e^lou-Ka'tlon,  pro'lou-sa/tion,  Bas-ffnif'^er-oas, 
etc.,  and  often  in  cou-sres'slon-al,  con-ffru'l-ty,  and  like  words,  the  n,  though  unaccented, 
retains  the  sound  of  ns,  which  is  given  ic  by  rule  in  the  words  from  which  these  are  derived,  as 
e-ioQ^gate,  etc.  It  takes  the  ng  sound  also  before  k,  or  cli  hard,  or  x,  at  the  end  of  a  syllable ; 
as  in  ink,  think,  tbaak,  mottfc,  conch,  anx'loas,  etc 

*  NG. 

§  71.  The  digraph  Nff,  ng,  is  the  equivalent  of  n.  This  sound  is  formed  with  the  organs  in  the 
same  position  as  g  (hard),  except  that  the  nasal  passage  through  which  the  sound  passes  is  left 
open.  The  dign^aph  occurs  only  at  the  end  of  syllables ;  as  in  long,  wtng^  hang,  sing,  song'- 
stress ;  or  with  ue  added  at  the  end ;  as  in  tongue ;  except  that  in  the  comparatives  and  super- 
latives of  long,  strong,  young,  the  g  goes  with  a  proper  hard  g  sound  to  the  inflection,  while 
the  n  takes  to  itself  the  o  sound ;  as,  lofi'ger,  lon'gest.  In  diphthong  and  triphthong* the 
g  goes,  in  a  like  way,  to  the  suffix  -aL 

P. 

« 

§72.  This  is  the  surd  correlative  of  b;  as  in  pea,  cup,  pray,  play,  harp,  spy,  spread, 
oppress,  etc.  It  is  silent  as  initial  before  n,  s,  sh,  and  t ;  as  in  pneumatics,  psalm,  pshavr  s 
also  in  raspberry,  receipt,  sempstress,  accompt,  corps,  and  their  derivatives. 

PH. 

$  73.  This  digraph  occurs  chiefly  in  words  of  Greek  derivation,  and  has  usually  the  sound  of  f ; 
as  in  phantoni,  sylph,  philosophy,  etc.  It  has  the  sound  of  v  in  Stephen ;  and,  according 
to  most  orthoepists,  in  nephcvr,  though  in  America  it  has  commonly  its  regular  sound  of  f  in 
the  latter  word.  In  diphthong,  triphthong,  ophthalmy,  naphtha,  and  other  allied 
Words,  and  their  derivatives,  the  ph  is  sometimes  sounded  as  p. 

Q. 

§  74.  Q  Is  In  all  cases  followed  by  u,  and  the  two  together  have  commonly  the  sound  of  kvr ; 
as  in  queen,  conquest,  etc. ;  but  they  have  that  of  k  in  a  few  words  from  the  French,  as  in  co- 
quette, etc. ;  as  has  also  tbe  ending  -que  in  antique,  burlesque,  etc 

B. 

§  75.  The  sound  of  r,  as  in  rip,  trip,  carol,  far,  form,  etc.,  is  produced  by  the  passage  of 
the  voice  over  the  tongue,  the  end  of  which  is  raised,  but  does  not  touch  the  roof  of  the  mouth, 
while  its  sides  close  the  passages  through  which  the  sound  of  1  passes. 

There  are  two  leading  varieties  of  the  consonant  r.  One,  the  dental  r,  is  made  between  the 
point  of  the  tongue  and  hard  palate  not  far  back  of  the  teeth ;  used  before  a  vowel,  as  in  rise,  try, 
oral,  array.  This,  as  requiring  a  more  forcible  expulsion  of  the  breath,  is  commonly  caUed 
**  rough  '*  r.  The  other,  the  palatal  r,  is  made  between  the  tongue  and  the  palate,  somewhat 
farther  back,  with  less  friction  of  breath  than  the  dental,  and  hence  is  commonly  called  *'  smooth  "  r. 
It  occurs  at  the  end  of  a  syllable  or  befo]:e  a  consonant,  as  in  far,  arm,  orbit. 

The  *'  rough  "  r  is  by  some  speakers  more  or  less  trilled,  but  this  practice  is  not  common  in  the 
United  States. 

A  prevailing  fault  in  New  England  is  (like  that  which  Walker  says  prevailed  in  England,  especially 
in  London)  not  sounding  the  r  at  the  end  of  words  and  before  a  consonant ;  thus,  eft  (with  the  vowel 
somewhat  prolonged)  for  ear,  f ftm  for  farm,  etc.  It  still  prevails  in  the  south  of  England.  In 
the  United  States,  the  fault  is  not  uncommon  in  New  England.  But  among  educated  people  the  r 
takes  generally  in  the  United  States  a  more  or  leas  dear  sound  as  a  consonant  in  all  aituationat

xviu  GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION. 

The  letter  r  neyer  takes  the  regular  short  sound  of  a  vowel  before  it,  except  when  in  primitiTes 
and  their  derivatives  it  ends  a  syllable,  and  is  followed  by  a  syllftble  beginning  with  a  vowel  sound ; 
as  in  marry,  very,  spirit,  mirror,  florid,  morroiir,  liorry,  myriadB.  The  doubling  of 
the  r  does  not  affect  this  statement,  since  but  one  r  is  sounded. 

When  primitives  end  in  r  their  derivatives  do  not  take  the  regular  short  sound  of  a  vowel  simi- 
larly situated ;  as  in  bar,  barring ;  infer,  Inferring ;  err,  errins ;  ttir,  ttirrlns ;  ab* 
lior,  abhorring ;  ocenr,  occurjrinK. 

S. 

§  76.  The  proper  sound  of  s  as  a  surd  is  made  by  breath  forced  through  a  contracted  chsimd 
between  the  tongue  and  the  hard  palate  near  the  front  teeth,  and  impinging  upon  the  edges  of  the 
upper  or  the  lower  teeth ;  as  in  see,  so,  bias,  yes,  scorn,  sky,  sly,  sntiile,  snoiv,  spy, 
square,  stay,  suvim,  coflis,  piciss,  cups,  cuts,  sense,  curse,  best,  message,  dispiay, 
lisp,  gipsy,  absurd,  etc.  Equivalents  are :  c  soft,  as  in  cell,  civil,  vice ;  sc,  as  in  scene, 
science,  etc. ;  sch  as  in  schism. 

§  77.  The  sonant  s  (marked  g),  corresponding  to  the  surd,  as  above,  is  made  with  the  same  artic- 
ulative  position,  except  that  the  tongue  is  pressed  somewhat  closer  to  the  palate.  The  sound  is  pre- 
cisely like  that  of  z ;  as  in  iig,  bag,  etc.  The  s  is  sonant  as  the  final  sound  of  some  verbs  and  surd 
as  the  final  sound  of  the  cognate  nouns  or  adjectives;  as  use,  abuse,  dlflUse,  bouse,  etc. 
Notice  close,  with  s  as  z  in  verb  and  noun,  and  s  sharp  in  the  adjective.  Compare  advige  (v.), 
advice  (n.),  etc. 

§  78.  S  takes  sometimes  the  sound  of  sb,  by  fuMon  with  a  following  y  sound,  with  consequent 
vowel  change;  as  in  version,  mansion,  convulsion,  censure,  sensual,  sure,  sugar, 

etc. ;  in  the  case  of  s  doubled,  the  first  is  assimilated  to  the  second ;  as  in  passion  (pSsh'fin), 
issue  (Tsh^  or  Tsh'u).  In  a  few  words  s  takes  the  sb  sound  while  leaving  the  following  vowel 
unchanged ;  as  in  Asiatic,  nausea,  etc.    Compare  §  49. 

§  79.  S  takes  the  sound  (zb)  of  z  in  azure  by  fusion  with  a  following  y  sound,  when  it  is  pre* 
ceded  by  a  vowel  in  an  accented  syllable ;  as  in  vl'gion,  de-cl'gion,  ad-be'gion,  sua'glon,  ex' 
plo'gion,  con-fu'gion,  pleag'ure,  lei'gure,  vig'u-al,  u'gu-ry,  etc. ;  also  in  scig'glon, 
ab-scig'gion,  re-scig'gion. 

SH. 

§  80.  This  digraph,  as  in  sharp,  shine,  rash,  usher,  represents  a  surd  sibilant  made  between 
tongue  and  palate  at  a  place  farther  back  than  the  s.  It  is  reckoned  as  a  simple  element,  and  is  the 
correlate  of  the  sonant  sound  represented  by  zb. 

The  sound  is  otherwise  represented  by  c  or  s  with  or  before  e  or  i,  and  by  t  or  sc  with  or  before 
i ;  by  8,  sometimes,  before  u ;  as  involved  in  the  x  in  anxious,  luxulry,  etc. ;  by  cb  in  chaise, 
machine,  etc. ;  by  chs  in  fuchsia ;  and  by  sch  in  schorl,  scbottlsche,  from  the  German. 

T. 

§  81.  This  is  the  dental  surd  correlative  of  sonant  d ;  as  in  tie,  it,  note,  try,  tame,  twine, 
stay,  stray,  art,  last,  apt,  sent,  aft,  act,  salt,  next,  attend,  etc. 

TH. 

§  82.  This  digraph  is  used  to  represent  two  sounds,  a  surd  and  a  sonant,  both  made  with  the 
same  articulative  position:  the  surd,  as  in  thin,  thing,  thrive,  enthusiasm,  breath, 
length,  birth,  width,  etc. ;  the  sonant,  marked  Th,  tb,  as  in  the,  this,  thy,  then,  with, 
breathe,  bathe,  father,  northern,  etc. 

In  the  following  nouns  the  th  is  surd  in  the  singular  and  sonant  in  the  plural :  bath,  dothf 


GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION. 

lath,  mouth,  oath,  path,  ^rreath,  moth ;  pi.  bathg,  clothg,  etc.  Verb  and  noun  forma 
differ :  the  verb  sonant,  the  noun  surd ;  as,  breathe,  breath ;  vnrekthe,  iirreath ;  bathe, 
bath ;  mouth,  niouth. 

« 

§  83.  Th  has  the  sound  of  t  in  thyme,  Thomas,  Thames,  Esther ;  and  in  phthlsiOt 
(ph  being  silent).    It  is  commonly  silent  in  isthmus  and  asthma. 

V. 

$  84.  This  is  the  sonant  correlatiye  of  the  surd  f ;  as  in  vain,  vivid,  ever,  live,  lived, 
move,  moves,  calveg,  wolveg,  etc.  The  sound  is  taken  by  f  in  of ;  but  in  pronouncing  its 
compounds,  hereof,  thereof,  etc.,  usage  is  divided  between  v  and  f. 

W. 

§  85.  At  the  beginning  of  a  word  or  of  a  syllable,  as  ivet,  -worse,  inivard,  this  letter  (which 
Lb  unmarked)  is  a  sonant,  formed  from,  and  nearly  resembling,  the  vowel  oo^  but  requiring  for 
its  utterance  a  closer  position,  or  greater  contraction,  of  the  labial  aperture ;  and  this  compression 
of  the.lips  changes  the  quality  of  the  sound,  giving  it  a  buzzing  and  articulative  instead  of  a  smooth 
and  purely  vocal  character. 

It  is  often  represented  by  u  occurring  before  another  vowel  in  the  same  syllable,  as  in  quail, 
query,  languid,  assuage,  etc 

§  86.  After  a  vowel  in  the  same  syllable,,  w  is  generally  silent ;  as  in  glow,  thrown,  etc., 
though  sometimes  significant,  as  in  flaw.  With  e  it  unites  to  form  a  diphthong,  which  is  generally 
sounded  like  long  u,  as  in  dew,  few,  new ;  but  it  is  sounded  like  oo,  or  like  u  in  rude,  if  the 
letter  r  stands  before  it,  as  in  crew,  shrew.  It  is  often  joined  with  a  preceding  o  to  r^resent 
the  diphthongal  sound  otherwise  expressed  by  ou,  as  in  broiv,  coiv,  town. 

§  87.  W  is  always  silent  before  r  in  the  same  syllable,  as  in  -wring,  vnrote,  a^^ry ;  also  in  the 
words  ans-wer,  s-word,  to-ward,  t-wo. 

WH. 

§  88.  The  true  sound  of  these  letters  is  in  the  reverse  order,  namely,  h-w,  as  they  were  written 
in  Anglo-Saxon ;  e.  g.,  -when  is  pronounced  h-wen ;  -wharf,  h-warf.  The  h  is  here  a  free 
emission  of  breath  tlirough  the  position  taken  by  the  lips  in  the  formation  of  iv.  In  ivho, 
-whole,  -whoop,  -whore,  and  their  derivatives,  the  w  is  silent. 

X. 

$89.  The  surd  sound  of  x,  as  in  box,  -wax,  execute,  exit,  exodus,  exudation,  ex- 
claim, extreme,  excel,  excellent,  etc.,  is  equivalent  to  that  of  ks.  X,  as  preceding  an  ac- 
cented syllable,  is  exceptionally  surd  (ks)  in  ex-ar'chate,  ex-er'cent,  ex-ude',  hex-am'e- 
ter,  ox-al'ic,  and  a  few  other  words  (see  §  90).  In  words  such  as  anxious,  noxious,  luxury, 
the  s  component  of  the  x  becomes  sh  by  fusion  with  a  following  y  sound. 

$  90.  X  is,  with  few  exceptions,  sonant  (gz)  when  followed  by  an  accented  syllable  that  b^^ 
with  a  vowel,  or  by  a  silent  h  and  a  vowel  under  the  accent ;  as  in  exist,  exalt,  exaggerate, 
example,  exempt,  exert,  exotic,  exult,  exhaust,  exhibit,  exhort,  exhilarate,  etc. 
Some  derivatives  of  such  words  often  retain  the  sound  with  the  x  falling  under  the  accent ;  as  in 
ex'eni-pla-ry,  ex'emp-ti'tious. 

§  91.  At  the  beginning  of  words,  x  has  the  sound  of  z ;  as  in  xanthic,  xebec,  xylography. 
It  retains  this  sound  in  certain  compounds,  as  in  par^a-xan'thin,  uiet^a-xylene,  etc 


XX  GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION. 

Y. 

§  92.    T,  as  a  oonflonant,  is  a  palatal  scxumt ;  as  in  year,  yon,  jovokg,  beyond,  vineyard, 

halyard,  etc.  It  is  classed  with  iv  as  a  semivowel.  In  certain  cases  the  sound  is  represented  by 
I ;  as  in  poniard,  onion,  genial,  familiar,  etc. ;  and  in  like  manner  by  e,  and  it  forms  a  part 
of  the  vowel  H  (Use).  The  place  of  articulation  for  this  consonant  extends  farther  back  than  the 
place  of  constriction  for  the  vowel  e  (eve),  involving  the  soft  palate,  as  the  place  for  e  does  not. 

Y,  as  a  consonant,  occurs  only  at  the  beginning  of  a  syUabie ;  at  the  end  or  in  the  middle,  it  is  a 
vowel,  as  in  my,  liappy,  eye.  It  is  used  in  this  Dictionaiy  in  giving  the  pronunciation  of  some 
foreign  words,  as  fiord,  lorgnette,  camarilla,  etc. ;  and,  in  such  case,  is  not  restricted  to  the 
beginning  of  a  syllable. 

Z. 

§  93.  The  ordinary  z  is  a  sonant ;  as  in  zeal,  zone,  maze,  size,  amazed,  frozen,  liazy, 
dizzy,  Blzar,  buzz,  etc. ;  the  sound  is  often  represented  by  g ;  as  in  easy,  his,  ears,  etc. ;  some- 
times by  c ;  as  in  suffice,  etc.    It  is  the  correlative  of  the  surd  s. 

§  94.  In  some  words,  z  takes  a  sound  (zh)  which  is  the  sonant  correlative  of  the  surd  sh ;  as  in 
azure,  seizure,  grazier.  The  sound  is  represented  by  si  in  fusion,  etc. ;  by  ti,  exception- 
ally, in  transition  (cf.  flnsition);  and  by  b  in  rouge,  uian^ge,  mirage,  and  other  words 
from  the  French.

ASSIMILATION  OF  SOUNDS. 

When  a  surd  and  a  sonant  consonant  come  together  in  the  same  syllable,  it  is  generally  very  diffi- 
cult, in  fluent  pronunciation,  to  preserve  each  in  its  regular  and  appropriate  sound.  Hence  it  fre- 
quently becomes  necessary  to  change  the  character  of  the  one  or  of  the  other,  in  order  to  make  the 
combination  readily  pronounceable.  This  is  generally  done,  in  English,  by  assimilating  the  soimd  of 
the  second  consonant,  whether  surd  or  sonant,  to  that  of  the  first.  Thus,  in  cbintz,  the  vocal 
consonant  z  assumes  the  sound  of  its  surd  correspondent  s,  in  order  to  unite  with  the  surd  t.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  s  in  -winds  is  vocalized,  oi  assumes  the  sound  of  z,  for  the  sake  of  correspond- 
ing with  the  sonant  d.  Sometimes,  though  rarely,  the  sound  of  the  first  consonant  is  assimilated  to 
that  of  the  second,  as  in  spasm  (spaz'm),  prism  (priz'm). 

This  affinity  between  these  two  classes  of  consonants  is  an  important  fact,  and  one  which  needs  to 
be  familiarly  known.  For  there  are  four  very  common  inflectional  terminations  which  come  under 
its  influence,  namely :  1.  Possessive  forms  in  s,  as  maid's  (maidz) ;  2.  Rurals  in  s,  as  tubs 
(tubz),  groves  (gr5vz) ;  3.  S  in  the  third  person  singular  of  verbs,  as  loads  (loadz),  smootbs 
(smootfaz) ;  4.  Preterits  and  participles  in  d  preceded  by  e  mute,  as  in  dagbed  (dasht),  ingulfed 
(ingulft). 


GUIDE  TO  PRONUNOIATION. 
DUPLICATION  OF  CONSONANTS. 

In  many  words,  a  consonant  is  doubled  between  two  vowels ;  yet,  in  such  cases,  no  more  than  one 
articulation  is  used  in  speaking.  In  banner,  for  example,  we  close  the  organs  but  once  between 
the  first  and  second  syllables ;  nor  is  it  possible  to  use  both  of  the  letters  n  without  pronouncing 
ban,  then  intermitting  the  voice  entirely,  opening  the  organs,  and  closing  them  a  second  time. 
Hence,  in  all  cases,  when  the  same  consonant  is  written  twice  between  vowels,  as  in  banner,  rob- 
bing, madden,  letter,  borrld,  one  of  them  only  is  represented  by  an  articulation  of  the 
organs ;  and  the  only  reason  for  repeating  the  consonant  is  to  indicate  the  fact  that  the  precedii^ 
vowel  has  its  short  sound. 

But  although  only  one  articulation  is  ever  used  where  a  consonant  is  written  twice,  yet  in  soma 
words  the  articulation  is  dwelt  upon  for  an  appreciable  space  of  time,  producing  an  apparent  dupli- 
cation of  the  sound.  This  effect  takes  place  in  many  derived  words,  in  which  the  primitive  ends  or 
begins  with  the  same  letter  as  that  with  which  a  superadded  suffix  and  prefix  of  English  origin  re- 
spectively begins  or  ends,  as  in  goullegs^  foully,  keennesg,  misstep,  outtravel,  unnat- 
ural. The  same  effect  takes  place  in  most  compound  words,  in  which  the  second  part  begins 
with  the  same  sound  as  that  with  which  the  first  part  ends,  as  in  post-toivn,  headdress, 
half-filled. 

ACCENT. 

Accent  is  a  particular  stress  or  effort  of  voice  upon  certain  syllables  of  words,  which  distinguishes 
them  from  the  others  by  a  greater  distinctness  and  loudness  of  pronunciation.  Accent  is  of  two 
kinds,  primary,  as  in  in-tend',  where  the  full  force  of  the  voice  is  on  the  last  syllable,  and  second- 
ary, as  in  8u'per-in-tend',  where  the  first  syllable  is  distinguished  by  a  stress  gn^eater  than  that 
laid  on  the  second  and  third  syllables,  though  less  than  that  laid  on  the  last.  In  some  words  there 
are  two  secondary  or  subordinate  accents,  as  in  In-com^pre-hen^si-bll'l-ty. 

NoTB.  —  (1.)  The  general  tendency  of  accent,  whether  primary  or  secondary,  is  to  shorten  all  vow- 
els but  u,  when  further  back  than  the  penultimate  syllable,  as  in  ten'ement,  ne^essariness, 
an'atom'ical,  person'fflca'tion,  etc.  (though  we  say  m'bricate,  and  not  lilb'rli^ite ; 
tru'culency,  and  not  triic'ulency ;  su'perabun'dant,  and  not  sttp'erabon'dant,  etc.). 
This  tendency  generally  fuls,  if  the  first  of  the  two  following  syllables  ends,  and  the  second  begins, 
with  a  vowel ;  as  in  pe'ri-od,  o'ri-en'tal,  le-vl'a-than. 

(2.)  The  primary  and  secondary  accents  are,  in  certain  cases,  so  nearly  equal  that  we  interchange 
them  freely,  **  making,'*  as  Walker  remarks,  **  the  secondary  accent  principal  and  the  principal  sec- 
ondary." Examples  are  ambuscade,  cavalcade,  caricature,  etiquette,  reverie,  confi- 
dante, governante,  parachute,  etc. 

(3.)  Many  in  America  give  a  marked  secondary  accent  in  certain  words  which  properly  have  but 
one  accent,  and  that  on  a  pre-antepenultimate  syllable,  as  in  ter'rl-to'ry,  dif 'fi-cill'ty,  cir'- 
cnnoL-stftn'ces,  in'ter-Sst'lng,  etc.  This  droning  fault  may  be  corrected  by  giving  the  accented 
syllable  a  sharp  percussion,  which  carries  the  voice  lightly  through  the  rest  of  the  word.

RULES  FOR  SPELLING  CERTAIN  CLASSES  OP  WORDS.

el, revels  rivdls  rowels  shovel^  shrivel^  snivel^  tas- 
sels tinsels  trammels  travelsiunnels  unravels  vials 
victtuil.  worship.  In  this  Dictionary,  the  deriva- 
tives 01  these  words  are  made  to  conform  to  the 
rule,as  recommended  by  Walker,  Lowth,  Perry, 
and  other  eminent  scholars. 

J  9*  Derivatives  formed  from  words  ending  in 
ouble  consonant,  by  adding  one  or  more  sylla- 
bles, commonly  retain  both  consonants :  as,  ehh^ 
elbing;  odd^  oddly  ;  stiffs  stiffness  ;fell,  fellaNe  ; 
skill f  skill/ulj  skill/ulness;  willf  wilful,  icillful- 
ness;  dtUlf  dullness ;  full,  fullness.  So  also  the 
double  I  is  retained  in  the  words  installment^  in- 
thrallment,  thralldom,  and  enrollment  (from  in- 
staU,  inthrallf  thrall,  and  enroll),  in  order  to  pre- 
vent the  false  pronunciation  they  might  receive  if 
spelled  with  one  I.  Many  writers  and  lexicogra- 
phers, especially  in  England,  omit  one  I  in  these 
words,  as  also  in  the  derivatives  of  skiU,  unll, 
dtUl,  ajid  full,  formed  by  addii^  the  syllables  ly 
tuadness. 

The  derivatives  of  pontiff  are  exceptions  to  the 
rule,  being  written  with  only  one  //  as,  poniific, 
ponHfical,  poniiftcial,  and  the  like.  One  I  also  is 
dropped  in  a  few  words  formed  by  adding  the 
temunaticn  ly  to  words  ending  in  II,  in  order  to 
prevent  the  concurrence  of  three  Vs  :  as,  ill,  illy; 
dtdl,  dully  ;  full,  fully. 

$  10.  In  derivatives  formed  from  words  end- 
ing with  silent  e,  the  e  is  generally  retained  when 
the  termination  begins  with  a  consonant :  aa^le, 
paleness  ;  hate,  hateftU ;  move,  movement.  When, 
however,  the  e  is  immediately  preceded  by  an- 
other vowel  (except  e),  it  is  often  dropped  from 
the  derivative:  9A,due,  duly;  awe,  awful;  and 
derivatives  and  compounds  of  these  words. 

The  words  wliolly,  nursling,  wisdom,  abridg- 
ment, acknowledgment,  lodgment,  judgment,  and 
the  compounds  of  some  of  these,  are  exceptions. 
The  last  four,  however,  are  written,  by  many 
authors,  abridgement,  <icknowledgemen4,  lodge- 
ment. Judgement. 

§  11.  In  derivatives  formed  from  words  end- 
ing with  silent  e,  when  the  termination  begins 
with  a  vowel,  the  e  is  generally  omitted,  except 
in  the  cases  mentioned  in  the  next  paragraph  :  as, 
bride,  bridal;  use,  usage;  come,  coming;  shape, 
shaping;  move,  movable;  fleece,  fleecy;  force, 
forcible. 

The  e  is  retained  in  the  words  hoeing,  shoeing, 
and  toeing  (from  hoe,  shoe,  and  toe),  in  order  to 
prevent  doubt  as  to  the  pronunciation.  It  is  re- 
tained, also,  in  the  words  dyeing,  singeing, 
springeing,  sunngeing,  tingeing  (from  dye,  singe, 
springe,  suringe,  tinge),  to  distinguish  them  from 
dying,  singing,  springing,  sunnging,  tinging 
(from  die,  sing,  spring,  swing,  ting).  The  word 
mileage,  as  commonly  written,  does  not  omit  the 
e,  though  it  is  sometimes,  and  more  correctly, 
spelled  milage.  The  words  lineage,  lineal,  and 
pineal,  though  apparently  exceptions,  are  not 
really  such,  since  they  are  derived  not  directly 
from  line  and  pine,  but  from  the  Latin  linea 
(through  the  French),  linealis,  and  pinea.  The 
e,  standing,  in  a  derivative,  before  a  termination 
beginning  with  a  or  o,  and  immediately  after  c  or 
g,  is  retained  in  order  to  preserve  the  soft  sounds 
of  these  consonants :  as,  peace,  peaceable ;  notice, 
noticeable ;  manage,  manageable  ;  change,  change- 
able ;  advantage,  advantageous ;  outrage,  outrage- 
ous ;  mortgage,  mortgageor.  The  latter  word  is 
sometimes  very  improperly  written  mortgagor, 
nod  pronounced  mor^ga-Jor* 


§  12.    In  derivatives  formed  from  words  end- 
ing in  ie,  by  adding  the  termination  ing,  the  e  is 
dropped,  and  the  i  changed  to  j^,  in  order  to  pre- 
vent two  t'«  from  coming  together :  as,  die,  dying 
vie,  vying. 

§  13.  In  derivatives  of  wo(ds  ending  in  ypre- 
ceaed  by  a  consonant,  and  formed  by  appending 
an^  termination  except  one  beginning  with  i,  the 
y  IS  usually  changed  into  i:  as,  icy,  iciest,  icily; 
mercy,  m^ciless;  foggy,  fogginess;  pUy,  pitiful. 
The  derivatives  of  adjectives  of  one  syllable 
ending  in  y  preceded  by  a  consonant,  are  excep- 
tions, and  usually  retain  the  y:  as,  shy,  shyness. 
But  the  adjectives  drier  and  driest,  from  dry,  are 
commonly  written  with  i  instead  of  y.  Deriva- 
tives formed  by  adding  the  termination  ship,  as 
secretaryship,  suretyship,  ladyship,  and  the  lUce, 
also  retain  the  2^.  The  words  ba^nood  and  lady- 
kin  are  likewise  exceptions.  The  y  is*  also  re- 
tained in  the  possessive  case  singular  of  nouns, 
when  formed  by  adding  s  with  the  apostrophe : 
as,  country^s,  everybody's. 

§  14.  Derivatives  formed  by  affixing  a  termi- 
nation to  words  ending  in  y  preceded  by  a  vowel, 
generally  retain  the  y  unchanged  :  as,  aay,  gay- 
c'y>  fl'ay^y;  obey,  obeying;  joy,  joyful;  gluey, 
glueyness. 

The  words  daily,  laid,  paid,  said,  saith,  slain, 
and  staid  (from  diay,  lay,  pay,  say,  slay,  and  stay), 
with  their  compotuods,  are  exceptions.  Staid, 
however,  is  sometimes  written  stayed.  Deriva- 
tives from  words  ending  in  uy,  as  colloquies,  from 
colloquy,  are  not  exceptions  to  the  rule,  as  u,  in 
such  cases,  is  not  strictly  a  vowel,  but  stands  for 
the  consonant  w. 

§  16.  Derivatives  formed  by  appending  a  syl- 
lable beginning  with  a  vowel  to  words  ending  with 
a  vowel  sound,  generally  retain  the  letter  or  let- 
ters representing  such  sound:  as,  huzza,  huz- 
zaed ;  agree,  agreeable,  agreeing ;  weigh,  weigh- 
ing; bow,  bowed ;  beau,  beauish. 

Derivatives  of  words  of  this  class  ending  in 
silent  e,  as  iJso  those  formed  from  words  ending 
in  double  e  by  adding  a  termination  beginning 
with  e,  drop  the  finale.*  va,  hoe,  hoed;  agree, 
agreed.  The  cases  mentioned  in  sections  11, 12, 
and  13  are  also  exceptions. 

§  16.  Derivatives  foilned  by  prefixing  one  or 
more  syllables  to  words  ending  in  a  double  con- 
sonant commonly  retain  both  consonants :  as,  re- 
buff, befall,  inthrall,  foretell,  fulfill,  emboss  (from 
buff,  fall,  thrall,  tell,  fill,  boss). 

The  word  until  is  an  exception,  being  always 
written  with  one  I.  Those  words  of  this  class 
which  end  in  II  are  written  by  aprae  authors,  es- 
pecially in  England,  with  one 2;  as,  b<fal,  in- 
thral,  foretel,  fulfil,  enrol.  The  words  distill  and 
instill  should  be  written  with  the  I  doubled, 
though  they  are  often  written  distil  and  instil, 
with  only  one  I. 

§  17.  Compound  words  formed  bv  joining 
two  or  more  words  commonly  retain  all  the  let- 
ters of  the  simple  words :  as,  stiff-necked,  wide- 
mouthed. 

There  are  numerous  exceptions  to  this  rule, 
many  of  them  compounds  which  by  long  use  have 
acquired  the  force  of  single  words.  They  are  the 
following:  namely,  some  compounds  of  all  and 
well ;  as,  almighty,  almost,  alone,  already,  also, 
although,  altogether,  always,  withal,  therewithal, 
wherewithal,  welcome,  welfare ;  —  compounds  of 
mass ;  as,  Christmas,  Michaelmas,  etc. ;  —  words 
of  which  the  second  part  is  the  adjective /»/2;  as,

artful^  woeful ; — also,  the  words  ehUhlain,  ful- 
fiUy  namesake,  neekerehi^t  nunuktUlf  pastime^ 
etandishf  and  wherever. 

§  18.  The  plund  of  nouns  regularly  ends  in  s, 
or,  in  certain  classes  of  words,  in  es. 

When  the  noun  in  the  aingiilar  ends  with  such 
a  sound  that  the*sound  of  «  can  unite  with  it 
and  be  pronounced  without  forming  a  separate 
syllable,  s  only  is  added  in  forming  the  plural : 
as,  seOf  seas;  woe,  woes;  canto,  cantos;  daw, 
daws;  chUf,  chiefs;  path,  paths;  gem,  gems; 
act,  cuits.  A  few  plurals  from  nouns  ending  in  o 
preceded  by  a  consonant,  end  in  e«.*  as,  ecfio, 
echoes ;  cargo,  cargoes ;  potato,  pokUoes.  Other 
nouns  of  this  class  generally  form  their  plurals 
regularly,  though  usage  differs  with  re^ud  to 
some  of  them.  Those  in  which  final  o  is  preceded 
bv  a  vowel  form  their  plurals  regularly.  The 
plural  ottolkcUi  is  written  alkalis  or  alkalies ;  that 
of  rahbi,  either  rabbis  or  rcMnes,  With  regard 
to  other  nouns  ending  in  i  usage  differs,  though 
they  are  more  properly  written  with  (he  termi- 
nation is. 

When  the  noun  in  the  singular  ends  with  such 
a  sound  (as  that  of  ch,  sh,  j,  s,  x,  or  z)  that  the 
sound  of  s  can  not  unite  with  it  in  pronunciation, 
but  must  form  a  separate  syllable,  e  is  inserted 
before  s  in  forming  the  plural,  unless  the  word 
ends  with  silent  e,  in  which  case  the  latter  serves 
to  form  a  separate  syllable  with  s :  as,  church, 
churches;  age,  ages;  lace,  laces;  gas,  gases; 
maze,  mazes. 

To  express  the  plural  of  a  letter,  figure,  or  any 
character  or  sign,  or  of  a  word  mentioned  with- 
out regard  to  its  meaning,  the  letter  s,  generally 
preceded  by  the  apostrophe,  is  appended,  as  in 
the  phrases.  **The  two  r«  in  a/2;"  ''The  two 
0'»  in  400; '»  "  The  why^s  and  wherefore's  of  the 
question." 

§  19.  Nouns  ending  in  y  preceded  by  a  conso- 
nant form  their  plural  by  adding  es  and  changing 
y  into  i :  as,  mercy,  mercies ;  sky,  skies ;  pity, 
pities.  This  rule  includes  words  ending  in  quy, 
in  which  u,  being  pronounced  like  w,  is  strictly  a 
consonant:  as,  colloquy,  colloquies.  The  plural 
of  proper  nouns  ending  in  y  preceded  by  a  conso- 
nant, is  formed  by  changing  y  into  ies,  according 
to  the  rule:  as,  "The  three  Maries.^*  Many 
writers,  however,  form  the  plural  of  such  words 
by  simply  adding  «.*  as,  ** The  three  Marys.'''' 

When  the  singular  of  a  noun  ends  in  y  preceded 
by  a  vowel  (except  u  having  the  power  of  w),  the 
plural  is  regularly  formed  by  adding  s  only :  as, 
day,  days;  key,  keys;  money,  moneys;  attorney, 
attorneys;  alloy,  alloys;  guy,  guys.  Some  plu- 
rals of  the  lattez*class  are  often  inaccurately  writ- 
ten with  the  termination  ies:  m,  monies,  attor- 
nies,  and  the  like. 

§  20.  The  plurals  of  a  few  nouns  ending  in  / 
or/c  are  irr^alarly  formed  by  changing  /  or  fe 
into  ves.  The  following  words,  with  their  com- 
pounds, are  the  principal  examples :  namely,  life, 
lives;  knife,  knives;  wife,  wives;  leaf,  leMves; 
sheaf,  sheaves;  loaf,  loaves;  beef,  beeves;  thief, 
thieves;  calf,  calves;  half,  halves;  elf,  elves; 
shdf,  shelves;  self,  selves;  wolf,  wolves.  The 
plursd  of  staff  is  sometimes  written  staffs,  but 
more  commonly  staves,  except  when  it  means  a 
corps  of  officers,  either  military  or  civil,  in  which 
sense  it  is  always  written  staffs.  The  plural  of 
wharf  is  generally  written  wharfs  in  England ;  in 
the  United  States  it  is  more  commonly,  but  im- 
properly written  wharves,  as  it  is  also  by  some 


recent  Wnglish  writers.  The  plurals  of  hoof  and 
turf,  formerly  written  hooves  and  turves,  are  now 
written  hoofs  and  turfs.  The  plurals  of  other 
nouns  ending  in  f,fe,  ocff,  tatt  formed  r^ularly 
by  the  addition  of  s  only. 

§  21.  In  the  following  nouns,  the  plural  is 
distinguished  from  the  singular  only  by  a  change 
of  the  vowel  or  vowel  sound  of  the  word  :  aamely, 
man,  men;  woman,  women;  goose,  geese;  foot^ 
feet;  tooth,  teeth;  brother,  brdhren ;  louse,  lice; 
mouse,  mice.  Words  which  end  in  the  syllable 
man,  and  are  not  compounds,  form  their  plurals 
regularly,  by  adding  s  only :  as,  cayman,  cay- 
mans;  desman,  desmans ;  firman,  firmans ;  tal- 
isman, talismans;  German,  Oemuuu;  Mussul- 
man, Mussulmans. 

§  22.  A  few  plurals  end  in  en:  namely,  broth- 
er,  brethren ;  child,  children  ;  ox,  oxen.  To  these 
may  be  added  the  obsolete  forms  eyne,  kine, 
shoon,  hosen,  housen  (from  eye,  cow,  shoe,  hose^ 
hoiue),  -the  first  three  of  which,  though  they  have 
received  a  slightly  different  fomif  end,  as  pro- 
nounced, with  the  sound  of  n. 

§  23.  The  words  brother,  die,  pea,  and  penny, 
have  each  two  plurals  of  different  forms  and  with 
different  significations:  as,  brothers,  male  chil- 
dren of  the  same  parent,  also,  members  of  the 
same  society,  association,  class,  or  profession; 
brethren,  members  of  the  same  religious  or  eccle- 
siastical body,  the  word  in  this  fonn  being  rarely 
used  except  in  religious  writings,  or  in  scriptural 
language,  where  it  also  has  the  same  meaning 
that  brothers  has  in  ordinary  language ;  dies,  im- 
plements for  making  impressions  by  stamping,  or 
for  making  screws,  also  tlie  cubical  parts  of  ped- 
estals ;  dice,  the  cubical  blocks  used  in  games  of 
chance ;  peas,  seeds  of  the  pea  plant,  when  a  defi- 
nite number  is  mentioned ;  pease,  the  same  in 
bulk,  or  spoken  of  collectively ;  pennies,  the  coins, 
especially  when  a  definite  number  is  mentioned ; 
pence,  the  amount  reckoned  by  these  coins. 

§  24.  A  few  words,  mostly  names  of  animals, 
have  the  same  form  in  the  plural  as  in  the  singUr 
lar  :  as,  deer,  sheep,  trout,  and  the  like. 

§  25.  Many  words  adopted  from  foreign  lan- 
guages retain  their  original  plurals :  as,  datum, 
data ;  criterion,  criteria  ;  genus,  genera ;  larva, 
larvae :  crisis,  crises ;  matrix,  matrices ;  focus, 
foci :  monsieur,  messieurs. 

Many  words  of  this  class,  while  retaining  the 
original  plurals,  have  also  a  second,  formed  after 
the  aniJogy  of  English  words  of  similar  termina- 
tion :  as,  formula,  formulas,  or  formulas ;  beau, 
beaux^OT  beaus;  index,  indices,  or  indexes;  stra- 
tum, strata,  or  stratums;  bandit,  banditti,  or  ban- 
dits; cherub,  cherubim,  or  cherubs;  seraph,  ser- 
aphim, or  seraphs.  The  plurals  of  the  last  two 
words  are  sometimes  incorrectly  written  clter- 
ub%ms  and  seraphims,  with  double  plural  termina- 
tions, from  ignorance  or  forgetfulness  of  the  fact 
that,  in  Hebrew  words,  im  is  a  plural  ending. 

§  26.  In  certain  loose  compoimds  consisting 
of  a  noun  followed  by  an  adjective  or  other  qual- 
ifying expression,  the  plural  is  commonly  formed 
by  nuiking  the  same  change  in  the  noun  as  when 
it  stands  alone :  as,  court-martial,  courts-mar- 
tial; cousin -german,  cousins  -  german ;  son-in- 
law,  sons-in-law.  When,  however,  the  adjective 
is  so  closely  joined  to  the  noun  that  the  compound 
has  the  force  of  a  simple  word,  the  plural  of  the 
compound  is  commonly  formed  like  that  of  any 
other  word  of  the  same  termination :  as,  oupfulf 
cupfyU;  handful,  handfuls. 


RULES  FOR  SPELLING  CERTAIN  CLASSES  OF  WORDS,      xxix 


§  27*  There  are  many  words,  beiddes  those 
mentioned  in  the  preceding  paragraphs,  in  respect 
to  which  usage,  even  that  of  the  best  authors,  is 
variable.  The  most  important  of  these  words  are 
mentioned  in  this  and  the  succeeding  sections. 

The  derivatives  of  the  word  villain^  as  villain' 
ou«,  villainy t  etc.,  though  often  written  villanous^ 
villanyf  etc.,  properly  retain  the  t,  like  those  of 
other  words  similietrly  ending  in  ain :  as,  moun' 
tainousy  from  mountain;  captaincy ,  from  cap- 
tain. 

The  words  connection^  deflection^  inflection^  and 
reflection  follow  the  spellmg  of  the  words  con- 
nect, deflect,  inflect,  and  reflect,  though  often 
written,  especially  in  England,  connexion,  deflex- 
ion, inflexion,  and  reflexion. 

The  word  woe,  though  often  written  without 
the  final  e,  should  retain  it,  like  most  other  nouns 
of  one  syllable  and  of  similar  form :  as,  doe,  foe, 
hoe,  toe,  and  the  like.  Monosyllables  other  than 
nouns,  and  words  of  more  than  one  syllable,  hav- 
ing a  similar  termination,  omit  the  e ;  as,  dh,  go, 
no,  so,  canto,  motto,  potcUo. 

The  words  defense,  expense,  offense,  and  pre- 
tense are  properly  written  thus,  though  often 
spelled  with  e  instead  of  s,  for  the  s  belongs  to 
the  words  from  which  they  are  derived,  and  is 
also  used  in  all  their  derivatives. 

The  words  drought  and  height  were  formerly 
written  drouth  and  hight,  and  are  still  very  often 
thus  written  in  America. 

The  yerh  practice  is  thus  written  like  the  noun, 
in  preference  to  the  form  practise,  though  the 
latter  spelling  is  used  by  many  writers,  especiaUy 
in  England.  The  difference  in  spelling  between 
the  noun  and  the  verb  is  properly  observed,  in 
words  of  this  kind,  only  in  such  as  are  accented 
on  the  last  syllable,  as  device^  devise. 

Derivatives  of  the  Greek  eSpa  (seat,  base,  side ; 
pronounced  hed^ra),  as  polyhedron,  tetrahedron, 
octahedral,  and  the  like,  are  properly  thus  writ- 
ten with  h  before  the  e  of  the  termination,  but 
are  sometimes  written  polyedron,  tetraedron,  oc- 
taedral,  etc.,  without  the  A. 

§  28.  There  is  a  class  of  words  beginning  with 
en  or  in,  as  enclose  or  inclose,  enquire  or  inquire, 
ensure  or  insure,  and  the  like,  many  of  which 
take  either  form  of  the  prefix  indifferently.  They 
are  chiefly  derived  from  the  Latin,  either  di- 
rectly or  through  the  French,  the  prefix  in  be- 
longing to  the  formei'  language,  and  en  to  the  lat- 
ter. In  some  of  these  words,  en  is  to  be  pre- 
ferred ;  in  others,  in  ;  in  many  of  them,  either 
may  be  used  indifferently. 

§  29.  There  is  a  class  of  words  ending  in  er, 
some  of  which  are  written  by  many  authors  with 
the  termination  re;  as,  center,  m^er,  theater, 
etc.,  which  are  often  written  centre,  metre,  the- 
atre, etc.  Acre,  chancre,  lucre,  nacre,  massacre, 
and  ogre,  retain  the  termination  re,  in  order  to 
preserve  the  hard  sound  of  the  c  and  g. 

§  30.  There  are  two  classes  of  chemical  words 
ending  respectively,  as  more  commonly  written, 
in  ide  and  ine,  in  regard  to  which  usage  has  been 
variable.  Most  of  them  were  formerly  written 
without  the  final  e  ;  but  it  is  now  the  almost  uni- 


versal practice  to  retain  it :  as,  bromide,  iodide^ 
chlorine,  fluorine,  etc.  The  word  tannin  is  al- 
ways written  without  the  final  e.  Oxide  is  now 
generally  written  with,  the  termination  ide, 
though  formerly  by  many  written  oxyd,  from  the 
supposition  that  the  y  of  the  last  syllable  repre- 
sented the  V  of  the  Greek  6^v$,  from  which  the 
word  is  derived ;  whereas  the  last  syllable  is  sim- 
ply the  same  as  the  termination  of  the  words 
bromide,  sulphide,  and  the  like. 

§  31.  There  is  a  class  of  words  ending,  as  pro- 
nounced, with  the  sound  of  long  t,  followed  by  z, 
some  of  which  are  differently  written,  by  differ- 
ent authors,  with  either  ise  or  ize  to  represent  this 
sound :  as,  criticize  or  criticise ;  patronize  or  pa- 
tronise. These  words  are  mostly  verbs,  and  are 
chiefly  derived  from  Greek  words  ending  in  t^<o, 
or  from  French  words  ending  in  iser  or  ise. 
Those  formed  from  Greek  words  have  the  termi- 
nation ize ;  as,  anathematize,  characterize,  drama- 
tize, tantalize.  The  words  catechise  and  exorcise 
are  exceptions.  Those  formed  in  an  analogous 
manner  from  English  words  are  likewise  written 
with  ize:  as,  albumenize,  memorize,  sensitize. 
Those  derived  from  the  French  Yerh  prendre  (par- 
ticiple pris  or  prise)  end  in  ise :  as,  apprise,  com- 
prise, emprise,  enterprise,  surprise.  Of  those 
formed  from  French  words  other  than  prendre, 
or  which  have  corresponding  forms  intiie  French, 
a  majority  end  in  ize,  though  in  respect  to  some 
of  them  usage  is  variable :  as,  civtlize,  satirize. 
The  f  oUowing  are  the  principal  English  verbs  end- 
ing in  ise :  namely,  advertise,  advise,  affranchise, 
apprise,  catechise,  chastise,  circumcise,  comprise, 
compromise,  criticise,  demise,  despise,  devise, 
disenfranchise,  disfranchise,  disguise,  divertise, 
emprise,  enfranchise,  enterprise,  exercise,  exor- 
cise, franchise,  manumise,  misprise,  premise, 
reprise,  revise,  supervise,  surmise,  surprise.  It 
may  be  remarked  that  most  of  those  m  respect 
to  which  usage  varies  are  more  frequently  writ- 
ten in  England  with  the  termination  ise,  and  in 
the  United  States  with  the  termination  Hee. 

§  32.  The  words  m^ld  and  molt,  and  their 
compounds  and  derivatives,  are  written  in  this 
Dictionary  with  o  instead  of  ou,  in  analogy  with 
the  words  bold,  bolt,  colt,  gold,  etc.,  from  which 
the  u  has  been  dropped.  Many  authors,  however, 
write  these  words  mould  and  moult,  and  their  de- 
rivatives in  like  maimer. 

§  33.  There  is  a  numerous  class  of  words  al- 
most universally  written,  ip  the  United  States, 
with  the  termination  or,  many  of  which  are  writ- 
ten, in  England,  with  the  termination  our:  as, 
candor,  honor,  labor,  vigor.  English  usage,  how- 
ever, is  not  uniform  with  respect  to  these  words, 
many  being  written  with  or  in  English  books. 

§  34.  There  is  a  small  class  of  words  ending 
with  the  syllable  ped  (from  Lat.  pes,  pedis,  foot), 
the  termination  of  some  of  which  was  formerly, 
and  is  still  frequently,  written  pede:  as,  biped, 
centiped,  mUliped,  quadruped,  soliped,  etc.  The 
words  biped  and  quadruped  are  universally  writ- 
ten without  the  final  e,  and  the  others,  according 
to  the  best  usage,  should  be  written  in  the  same 
manner.

The  International  is  a  thorough  revision  of  the  authentic  "  Unabridged,**  and  is 
fully  abreast  of  the  times. 

This  last  revision  is  by  far  the  most  complete  that  the  work  has  ever  undereone  during  the 
sixty-two  years  that  it  has  been  befc«-e  the  public,  every  page  being  treated  as  if  the  book  was  now 
published  for  the  first  time. 

The  work  of  revision  occupied  over  ten  years,  more  than  a  hundred  editors  being 
employed  and  over  $300,000  expended  before  the  first  copy  was  printed.
